So, this morning went over to check on this whole battery light issue. After I started my truck this morning, light was on, went off a few minutes later. Checked battery with engine off (12.0v), with alternator running(12.9). Weird that it starts up with no drag. I work on this at my trailer storage, so driving there, listening to stereo, I have 4
Amps, and they went into protection 2 times. Never happened before. When I got to storage I really turned it up to see what was happening when I was looking at the amps. They went into protection 1 more time, then worked fine for like 30 minutes, thumping away. So I had a old alternator that I had replaced with this high amperage one, replaced it, and it seems to be working, 14.1-14.3 with engine running at battery now. Does anyone think that with that old alternator having issues that could have thrown amps into protection?? Never happened before, system was cold, I’ve ran this system for hours driving in 100 degree heat, no issues until this. No popped fuses except for the very first time. Installed a much better quality breaker for amp power.
