Post Number: 379 Registered: Jun-05 | off-hand, not sure of any batteries that are 13 volts? almost all car batteries are 12v, (you can tell, by checking when the vehicle is off...It might read higher when running, but htat's due to your alternator behing a higher voltage.) Not saying a 13v battery dosnt exist... But a 12v charger wont be able to charge a true 13v battery...the voltage needs to be higher in order for the battery to take any charge. Seth |
