HyperliteLF920 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 So I bought a Kinetik HC1800 off of Craigslist, possibly my first mistake... When I got it last night, the voltage was at 11.20; I took it into Autozone today and they said they would charge and test the battery. Well I get a call an hour or two later saying the battery was bad. So I go pick it up and the say it wouldn't accept a charge and it likely has a dead cell. So I get home and check the voltage quick. It says 12.59. So is my battery bad? Or whats going on? I appreciate any and all input! Thanks, Ed. 2003 Ford Taurus 15" Fi BL fully loaded T1500-1 amp Crescendo CCX525s in fronts Kenwoods in rear P400-4 amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably don't have an AGM charger, just a wetcell charger. ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

audioanonymous Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 A bad battery can still float high. It's when you put a load on it where the voltage drops really quick. Cactus Sounds USA Team Captain Multiple World Record Holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
