I just got back from a three-hour cruise and ck'd my voltage it read 12.99v without load and 12.40v under load (both headlights and 55A fog lights on) Any thoughts? is this about right? The reason I ask, is when I went to leave for home I was talking with someone and had the ign. on (headlights/fog lights, too) for about 5 to 10 min. and it felt like it ALMOST didn't want to crank over. Thanks. ... |

That is fine. The book asks for 12.6V to test. These batteries are small and don't usually have a lot of reserve power. |

Should be about 14V with the engine running. |

""Should be about 14V with the engine running."" Thanks, Mnrider, Good information. I'll test it first thing in the AM with the engine running. . |

I have a problem on my 2007 with the battery not recharging on the alternator. The battery is on a tender thru the off season. And we could not find anything draining on the battery. Has anyone had a problem with the alternator going out? |

"77" connector, check that first, then the voltage regulator, and then the stator. That's all there is to the charging system. |

If you find fault with the regulator don't just replace it, check the stator first. A bad stator will screw up a new regulator and then you get to buy it again. Don't ask me how I know!! |
