Voltage issues

the autozone places sometimes have a portable load tester and can test your batteries without you removing it.

I meant to disconnect the positive wire between batteries, that way he can see if its just a problem with one

J's ult alts here i come x)
Seriously tho i'll let you all know what the autoshop says

I'd go with Singer. Jim will always make it right, and they have a lifetime warranty

Sounds like an alt problem. Did you check to see if the module is pulled all the way back in? i did this before on my impala. Didnt push it all the way back in. After about 3-4 days my batts were drained down to 12.3-4

I hitup Singer as well. Once they get back to me i'll decide if the price is worth it.

J's just too sweet (240a (170a idle) for $320)

Yea, my 320 amp alt was $579

if your at 12v with car running you have alt. problems.

is it a stock alt? what amp is it?

what total rms of system?

and your running 3 total batterys ? or just 2.

 

[shammyhavik]

2 batts, 130a stock alt, roughly 2200rms sq2200

I dont have a fuse between the alt & batt

Anyone know what a gassed AGM smells like?

inside the car?

also you need to fuse at front battery and at the back battery.

if you plan on going bigger ( power wise ) get a good high power alt. if not get another 130amp alt.

It's fused on both ends under 10" from batts.

I looked it up and Hydrogen gas has no smell. I don't think it has to do with the voltage problem. You might be "hallutinatin".

Probably is an alternator problem if you don't eventually charge up to 14.4v.

i read it wrong. he said no fuse from alt. to battery. but you need to fuse that also.

not every car charges at 14.4v , but he should be seeing higher then 14v . so i say pull the alt. and have it tested. they will put a load on it to see what its charging at. but if you say no higher then 12v when its running, thats the alt. even if you had a bad battery you would still see 13.8 or higher when running. it would just go back down fast with a bad battery. meaning it will not hold a charge.
