[QUOTE="LongThrow, post: 8425077, member: 661351"] Can't believe I didn't see that, I've read bcae.com a million times. Lights get dimmer when engine is off, so I pass that test. And nice bit about unplugging the battery while running, it does cause damage - didnt know that. When idiling with car on, voltage 14.2-6 With car off, it shows 12.4-13.0 depending on how quickly I test it after turning the vehicle off. It only spikes 2-4v when idling at a stop light, and it's momentary. Might do it for 4 seconds, stop, 4 seconds later does it again, and then it stops. Headlights flutte at idle in park when I rev the car up. When I'm accelerating at a good pace, and immediately let off the gas all at once sometimes I'll have a voltage drops and my lights dim [/QUOTE]
