OK Here are the results. drum roll please....I went to the car and tested the battery before I started it and it read, 10.96, I started it (with a jump) and tested again and it read, 13.91. Then I brought it up to 2000 rpm and at 2k rpm it read 13.92. I drove it for two hours. However I left the house and drove 7 miles to the shop becauce I noticed that it had spilled some oil on my floor, and wanted them to look at it real quick. They shut it off before I could stop them. It was off for 15 min. and it started up again YEA!! (They said that I have a leak at the oil sensor, going back Thursday so they can spray some new kinda thing on it that will keep it from leaking. Only about 60.00, but has to sit 8 hours to set. Has anyone heard about this ?) Any way I continued to drive drive drive. ( I love the thumbs up I get on such a cold winter like day) I made a few stops, but not longer than a few minutes each. Got home tested again once I shut it off and it read12.33. Now one of you says to park and wait till morning and see what the read is in the morning and the other says to disconnect the + pole and wait till morning, test before I hook back up and again after. What one should I do.? And by the way the battery is closed cell so not sure how to check water, and on another note, when I pulled into the driveway today I honked at my dog and the horn sounded a little sickly, could this be related??? Just thought I should throw everything out there, ya never know. Or I should say I DON"T HAVE A CLUE.
