Re: OUR 40 FORD
The volt loss situation is better, but not ideal, yet.
I have a load tester. I will load test the two year old battery over the weekend. The battery has been on a Battery Tender every day since I put it in the car. The battery did go to 100% dead two times when some accessories were left on and overpowered the Battery Tender's ability to keep up. The battery may have been dead for several days.
The ECU display on the laptop shows 14 volts. This drops instantly to under 10 volts when the starter is engaged. I will remove the battery and take it back to the vender for testing. I may buy a battery with more CCA as long as I can fit it into the available space.
