Battery gauge riding high?


Recommended Posts

Go get your battery checked at the auto parts store.  The check is free.  My guess would be that the alternator is constantly trying to charge the battery because it's lost a cell.   If that's the case, it'll eventually wear the alternator out.

My first thought is a bad ground and your alternator is compensating for lost of voltage at the bad connection.  If it was a bad cell it would read 10.25 when you turn the key to accessory.  Check your connections for the green stuff and clean and tighten them.
