how many volts out of the car drawing i hope 0 amps hehe.??

THX guys and gals

 

out of the car, it SHOULD be 0 amps, since there is no load

 

I know that but how many volts? above 12??

I need to know if I need a new battery?

 

o sorry

voltages
12.65v+ 100%
12.4v 75%
12.2v 50%
12.0v 25%
11.9v- dead

anything under the 50% mark (12.2v) should be replaced

 

Is that on a fully charged battery or a dead one. My cattery is out of the car and completly dead(i tryed starting it and relay clicking)

Im waiting to take it tommorow to get it charged on a charger.

It has a reading of 9.2 volts

 

ttt

 

if the battery voltage is lower than9.7 volts try charging if does not charge to 12.7 the cels are bad

 

a GOOD battery should be pushing 14+ volts. my '91 Si consistently puts out 14.7V until the bass hits, at which point it'll drop down to about 12.5 or so. and that's a stock battery...not a deep cycle or anything.

 

he has the battery out of the car so i wont be 14v, thats only when the alternator is running

anyways, try charging it (also check the battery acid for its specific gravity reading, if you have access to a hydrometer) and if it wont come back up to at least 12.2v then get yourself a new battery
