[Shop-talk] alt or battery?

[Tim]

b
The key is fully charged.  If the battery is run down, it's not a fair
test.b


Any idea why the green bfully charge lightb is flickering when attached
to the battery and plugged in?

b
Pick up some battery clamps while you're there.b


Have set somewhere in the shop; time to either clean off a bench or buy
another set.

"Test both battery and alternator for freeb
. I guess I will be pulling
the alternator to get it tested. (pulling battery is easy, alt a little
less so.

b
Rapid clicks is usually a dead battery. Given the other symptoms, I
think the battery is worn out. Get a new one, and cables, or at least
new ends. Then test, or have Tested, the alternator.b


So it must be possible then for a battery b
eyeb
 to be green and the
battery still worn out? I will start with a new battery. I can pull the
alt but it would be a long process for me as I have to take my time and
not be hamfisted.

Thanks all!
