Battery followup

posted by  someone claiming to be D Hunter on  Tue Oct 28 17:16 CST 2008 [RELATED]

It is normal procedure when a new battery is installed to check the alternator/regulator charging system. It can be too low in voltage or no voltage in which case the new battery will simply go dead again. if the output is too high it will "cook" the new battery. Go to any auto parts store such as Advance and they will check battery and charging system free. I am surprised those who sold and tested all these batteries did not do this for you or at least suggest it. Better find a new battery supplier.
