Stop in for a cup of coffee

All my batteries are made in the US. Exide is not anything better.

Re-read what I stated, start and run time has never made any difference on battery life across the past 13 years. My charging system works perfectly, and always has. 12.1 to 12.5 volts measured directly from the battery is perfectly normal...and fully charged on an older battery.

It’s when it drops below 12 volts that you know it’s failing.

That drive out to Red Lion seems to have helped saturate the red top in my Baccaruda.
Before pulling out of the garage the other day, I put it on the automagic charger. Even at 14.3 Volts it wasn't drawing any current.
