just got a new optima batt. is this supposed to happen??


Recommended Posts

Not necessarily. The 4Ks need AT LEAST 12 at the amp. They will usually pop under it (in my case anyways).

So it started when it rained then? I must have missed that. Have you pulled the door panel to check for shorts? Either way, the stock fuses should have taken care of that..

Throw an ammeter on your battery to check for draws after the car is off. You should probably have the alt load tested after charging your battery completely (trickle over night) also.

Those would be my next steps.

Need an install? Hit me up.

It's probably flat as hell. Give it a few hours on your alt. If it's reading low/less, your alt is probably bad.

that could be a possibility but i had my alt tested and they say its working.. :/

Did you get a DMM? is the reading from your Volt meter you installed or stock meter or DMM? I would double/triple check your wires for the big 3, make sure they are all properly connected and no damage. Sounds weird. Get your car running and disconnect the battery. If it dies your alt is going or gone.

Did your old batt go? thought you were going with the HO alt next?

UPDATE...took my uncle with me and we ended up (after much hassle) getting another battery..this time i had them exchange for a YELLOWTOP. my volts are reading higher now.. but just a q out of topic..i know ive said this before but just want to see if anyone could clear this up for me..everytime i turn my blinker on my volt on the dash shoots way down then back up..was this possibly from my audio system doing damage to my car? (it does this without my audio system hooked up)

because its may be a new batt but use a dmm on it when running the test they do is not good
