Not sure if this is the right spot for this but, I'll go with it anyway. The battery is always getting dangerously low when I come to a complete stop. The lights dim, the blinker slows down, and my heat slows too. It seems like the alternator isn't charging it or whatever, because everytime I step on the gas a little it will go up, and everything will start working normal again. I haven't really looked into it yet but if someone can give me a start on what to check or if they know what it is, it will be very helpful. Thank you.

Re: Battery Problems
Sounds like your alternator is about to kick-the-bucket. The alternator basically runs all of the electrical system(s) when the engine is running. The battery is there just to start the car.sigpic

Re: Battery Problems
a fully charged battery will read 13.6 volts on a voltmeter and will not drop below 8 volts when cranking the engine

Re: Battery Problems
most cars are running maiily off the batt when idling because of the way there wound(to put out more amps at crusing rpm) a fully charged batt is 12.6 any higher is a surface charge that will disapate fairly quickly. soorry for any typos i dont have my glasses on and can hardly read the screen
