[QUOTE="ngsm13, post: 3094867, member: 544830"] Both Autozone and Advance Autoparts around here do it, for free. They roll out a cart to your vehicle, hook up a pair of cables... along with a clamp meter. The machine then basically tells the employee what to do... they'll have you idle, rev to ~2000rpm, and then idle again. During this time it will be putting a load on your alternator... Then it will give you output amperage, and charging voltage. At least that's what both machines did at the local ones I went to... even though it should be idiot proof... it helps if the person actually knows what they're doing. nG [/QUOTE]
