RE: [DML] BAD BATTERY TWICE

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,
Even though the light can and will go out which you would think the alt is
ok, when the car is turned off and if the rotor is shorted there will be a
current draw that would drain the battery.
If you drive with out the battery hooked up, that will work in an emergency
case. Just don't turn on anything extra or you will burn up the diodes and
regulator in the alternator. Even though the car runs off the alternator
when your above 12.66 volts and driving, the alternator is part of the
circuit and is talking to the battery and then the car.

Had my battery die on me, NEW Q.State Twice!  YES TWICE!
TWO DIFFERENT BATTERY'S
12.66 Volts!
Second battery lasted two weeks until the car sat more than two to three
days it died completely no lights, no gages, no nothing any suggestions?
Until Jumped, but I suspect it to die any time now!
