[QUOTE="shizzzon, post: 8343968, member: 590338"] Rotten eggs is a CLEAR symptom when dealing with electrical that you are overcharging a battery. Other symptoms include, not related to electrical, that your CAT is clogged or damaged. You shouldnt have charged a dead agm with an alternator... very bad idea. Also, shouldnt leave a battery that may have a bad cell in the vehicle either. If it's not too late, needs to be fixed before all the batteries end up damaged and they need to be properly charged too. 15v is too high of a voltage as well hence maybe why it smells like that. Batteries under the hood need to be charged at a much lower voltage due to the ambient heat around the battery. That's why cold starting charges higher. Warm weather needs far less voltage or overcharging will occur. [/QUOTE]
