Bad Battery

Bad Battery

Postby Peter » Tue May 06, 2003 2:55 pm

My lights have always been kinda dim. i started noticing this a couple weeks after i got my system. i used to think it was just me, but i just got sick of it, so i went to autozone. turns out my battery's not gettin enough juice from the alternator, so it showed up as a bad battery. everything else works fine, only problem i noticed was the dim lights, so now im waiting on my 130A alternator. once i get that i'll probably add a optima yellowtop to finish it off.

thats my story, just thought i'd share :D

What's your system setup? Maybe a cap would help in preventing more alternators and batteries.
