DO NOT ATTEMPT IF YOU CAN NOT CHECK YOUR BATTERY SAFELY! :blush:

What is the measured voltage[DC] across your battery poles [engine off]?
With engine on, should be in excess of 14 volts [alternator output].

I...um...haven't checked mine yet :tisk:

This way we can compare and hopefully get a little heads up if the battery is on its last legs :dblthumb:

I have a relative who used to manufacture auto batteries. He said the most warranty claims came from Florida cuz their heat is worse for batteries than the cold!
