I got an “unstable battery” reading yesterday when I went to test my battery. Does this confirm a bad cell?
If its charging, ride it till it dies…
Man, you can’t win with your Z can you?
that or it needs a therapist?
Something is always breaking on this damn car :banghead
It is reading 14.3 volts with the engine running though. Think it’ll last until this weekend?
Emo battery? I hope not
14 or so is right whree you should be
Which is whats confusing to me. My voltmeter reads 14.3 but the machine they used at Monroe read Unstable Battery. They used some high end handheld meter and mine is a $20 pep boys meter :lol
Your battery probably failed the load test, but voltage wise it will take a charge at 14.x
Turn the car off and measure the battery and see how fast the voltage drops over time.
I didn’t know that, I’ll try it tomorrow. Thanks
if ya wanna know the truth unstable battery voltage is common depending on heat ,load and whatnot ,if its constant it could have a shorted cell and that is not good for the rest of the charging sytem as it works the alt harderwhat ya need to do is pull the batt take to a shop wit a analyzer and get it tested
Good looking out, thanks for the info man. I’d rather replace it then instead of dicking around with it.
im the same way ,if i gotta fuck with it its comin out
