Had to get a new battery since the stock battery was failing the load test. The new battery when new was 12.6volts and yes it did pass the load test.
But this is odd. When the battery has sat overnight and I read the voltage it's 12.44volts. I've checked the alternator and it's charging correctly. What would cause a battery to lose 0.14volts overnight? Is the battery bad? I was wondering if it was that emissions pump that runs for 5 minutes after 5 hours of sitting.
Someone help me out here, I really need the help.. thanks
