Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4109 Registered: Jul-06 | Didn't I already tell you this in a thread before? Each battery has a slightly different internal resistance. When the alternator is putting out 14 volts and charging both batteries, this is not a problem. Problem happens when the alt is not charging. Due to the difference in resistance, each battery sees the other a small resistive load, causing current to constantly flow between the batteries until both are drained. The longer the vehicle sits without the engine running, the more current will drain. |
