Battery Voltage? What should the battery voltage be while driving and parked anybody know?? I was driving today and it was only at like 12.7-8 seems little low. It used to be in the 14's last week or so, thinking battery might be on the way out?? Any reccomendations for a batter decent priced not a 160 red top that I wont need. lol Thanks Jeff

I have a Optima Yellow Top and it works great! I get between 12.8 - 15.1 volts or so . It all depends how hot or cold it is outside. I never had a problem with it. The old Delco one lasted me almost 4.5 years.

Well I went and got my system tested and he said everythings good but the battery will need help in the winter the cca's have dropped so he suggested getting one by winter. So I guess Ill start doin some research for a good decent priced battery. Thanks Jeff

LMAO That actually made me lmao I would love to get one I just cant justify 160 for it. Does anyone know where to get one cheaper?? I dont know if they still make them but everything ive read on costco's kirkland batteries is great that if they fail get a full refund not prorated. Im still searching my friend says interstate megatron batteries are great. Gonna start searching. Jeff

I just replaced mine, total PITA, get the beer flowing. I went with an AC Delco, 7yr warranty. $92. Hopefully thats the last time I'll ever have to put a battery in this thing.
