Battery or alternator ?
« on: June 25, 2013, 06:11:14 AM »
Starter started going kliky kliky on me sunday afternoon. Pilled it put (one year old) brought it to parts source. Tests ok.
Hmm. Changed all the battery connections. Did the voltage drop test on the wires , grounds etc. battery reads 12.8 volts. Hooked up battery charger/booster and it started. At idle volts read 14.4 volts. Battery is just over a year old. What could it be ?

Just tested the battery. Under load 26 amps. How does a one year old battery do this ?

New terminals. Did voltage drop test everywhere so all was good. Warrinty sticker on battery some how disapeared. Crappy tired bashturds. New battery cured ailments. All is good.
