Overcharging problems
OK, threw a charger on battery and the damn charger crept up to over 15 volts?? WTF? Verified that with multi meter.
Unplugged that asap. Not sure ifnits the charger or the battery, but I load tested the battery and checked out. Battery is approx 10 yrs old.
Rechecked static batt V with key off. 12.7V.
Key on, got 10.57 at ballast Ign #1/run, 7V at Start side.
Started car and measured voltage direct at batt, and it steadily increased from 12 and change up to over 14 in a matter of 1-2 minutes.
That's all I had time for, hopefully more time the next few days.
Thanks
