[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5484386, member: 601690"] The voltage you gave (14.3v) is the voltage of your alternator, not the battery. You took that reading with the car running. You need to take the voltage of the battery with the engine off and the NEG- wire removed. That is called an open circuit resting voltage. That is the true voltage of the battery. If it is less than 12.8v, it needs a recharge. If it is less than 10.0v, there is little hope of saving it. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
