Batteries

[SlowWhite]

Bought the Optima Type 51 yesterday. Fixed the power steering Wire and then taped the wire to the alternator harness so that it won't touch the 02 housing again.


Idled the car for 10 minutes with nothing else on but the laptop (logging battery voltage) 13.8-14.2

Idled the car for 10 minutes with everything on (stereo, wipers, headlights, hazards, Fans,etc) 13.5-13.8 (sometimes 14.0)



True test will be when I take it for a test drive.

Yeah my 1990 Laser rs Turbo is having probs like that. I got an new battery and it still does it so Im gonna get the alternator checked but not till it gets a little nicer out. Until then I guess I will be driving my ford Tore ass.
