I let it run for about 30 minutes, and checked the engine off voltage, and it was back to ~11.5 Volts.NOT a good sign.Ĭame back in the house, and started battery shopping on line. It was enough to start the car with (barely!), and after it started I put the voltmeter back on the battery, and it showed 14.6 Volts, indicating the alternator was doing it's best to pump some charge back into the battery. This morning it had dropped down to around 2 Amps, so I pulled the charger off, and checked the resting voltage.
I left it sit for a couple of hours, and when I checked it again, it was still pumping 10 Amps into the battery, so I let it charge all night long. I put my charger on it when we got back home, and it proceeded to max out the charger at 10 Amps. I didn't leave any of the lights on, so, rather mystified, we took her car to dinner. The lovely sound of a solenoid *trying* to engage, and the battery not having enough juice to pul it in, and crank the engine. I put in the key, turned it on, and BRAAAAAAAAP! The wife and I went out to my Jeep last night on our way out to dinner.
