mojoman Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 had a guy in today with a chrysler pacifica. he said after remote start (installed at another shop) was put in his battery keeps dying on him. i checked for current draw at battery (in series with pos and neg leads) and didnt notice any change in draw when starter was hooked or unhooked. any other areas to look? any help would be great.

DVBin916 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 It is possable for it to read 12v and have a bad cell. My boy has hydros in his ride and we had a simlar issue after charging over night and then sat for a day. when we put a meter to the bat showed a 12.5v but did not have enough juce in the bat to turn the motors. Most likly a dead cell not the whol batery just a cell. Quote - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 yep seen many batts register 12.5 volts or more and be dead, load test the batt, that will tell you if its dead or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
