Why is the new battery only reading 11.9 volts?, sounds like it
should be recharged. After you get it recharged, take it somewhere
where it can be tested under load, a voltage meter used by itself
doesn't give much of an indication of what's actually going on.

Battery voltage is at 11.9 and it reads the same at the starter. I realize that number is a little low, but not low enough to crank this slow. It also reads the same if I test at the battery's ground post or the engine block. This car has been sitting a long time, could this be caused by a film of rust on the cylinder walls? Any other reasons you guys can think of that would cause this? ************************************************************* To unsubscribe or set your subscription options, please go to http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=l-forwardlook&A=1
