Yeah this battery is old. Its at least 5 years old, (length of time I saw it in the previous vehicle before I acquired it) and a reman at that.
That is a pretty good battery if that's all the more it has lost over the years... Sounds like wiring the tach to switched power fixed you right up..

The battery tests at 12.50V
This don`t show capasity Ah,I did 1 year game with bat shop,they say that 13.5V show bad alternator and I say it`s because bad aku,so did test I write and my alt show 14.4 (w/o aku).Even company man say that is alt.So tomorow I bring bady GOOD aku did my test again on him and I get 14.1V that shat his maunth.
Result i get NEW one.
To be shure you need A metar till 50A to measure curent charge from alt,and also V drop till you grank/glow.

Tis true.. To get an accurate test of a battery you need to put a load on it.. But of course if it only charges to say 10v, it's crap anyhow..

Oh sorry, couldn't see the picture on my phone! lmao
Well it won't be -18c for a while hopefully... lol
We want it to be 7.5v after 10 seconds of cranking? Is it bad to be higher?

So had to do another amperage draw on my brother car.. seems he was having a decharged battery after sitting too.. He has a draw of 0.15a on the fuse box main power wire, but pulling every fuse and relay one at a time does not make the draw change at all...
What in the world could be causing this draw?

Something tapped directly to the power line that is not on a fuse? Poor isolation of ground to power? Like those rubber grommets some used that eventually wear away and make some kind of contact or worse occasional contact.

0.15 A is very little,for good aku it`s nothing,but you can pull out + or - from aku if it`s OK for you.
