Re: Second battery? Suspected alternator fault?

Good evening Lucas, Are you able to start the engine ? If so a multi meter test should show a voltage across the battery when the engine is running of around 14 to 14. 5 voilts give or take.

Car chargers are a minefield and there are hundreds of them. If y...

Re: Current projects.,
