Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Apr 14, 2009, 2:18 PM Post #2 of 4 (1117 views) Re: alternator problem Sign In hashhead; Hmmmm. Interesting name. Draining battery? Starter spinning, but engine not cranking? That sounds like two seperate problems. Have the charging system and the starter tested. btw; It's always best to start a new thread with a new vehicle. Your messg. will be seen by a lot more people, that way.

A fully charged 12V battery will have 13.2V. But, at this point, all you are doing is showing surface voltage. If the battery holds a 200A load for 15 seconds and stays above 9.6V, the battery is okay. Once the engine is started, charging voltage should be between 13.6V and 14.6V. You'll need an amp guage to check for amperage output as well.
