Strange voltage problem
Hey all,
Just replaced a new Duralast battery with 750CCA, then a new alternator for my 2001 Max. The alternator was a 110amp from Pepboys.
here's the problem.
Upon start up, I hooked my voltmeter up to the battery. The batter was reading 14.40 volts. I'm watching it and after 5 minutes, the voltage is now 14.30 and still dropping slowly. When I hit the gas at 14.25, the voltage jumped to 14.30. I just shut it off and went back in because I needed to eat some lunch.
The only thing I have hooked up to the battery are HID lights. They were not on. Do you think thats the culprit of the slow voltage drop?
