RE: [DML] BAD BATTERY TWICE

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's highly likely. I ruined 3 batteries before I figured it out and
replaced my alternator.

Yank it off and take it to an alternator shop and have it tested.

Subject: [DML] BAD BATTERY TWICE

Had my battery die on me, NEW Q.State Twice!  YES TWICE! 
TWO DIFFERENT BATTERY'S
12.66 Volts! 
Second battery lasted two weeks until the car sat more than two to three
days it died completely no lights, no gages, no nothing any suggestions?
Until Jumped, but I suspect it to die any time now!
 
 
Is the ALT. the cause or is it a constant drain on the batt. and WHERE would
I start to look for the drain?
 Never really had a problem before?
I have AC DELCO Cad. Alt 140 AMP. installed about two years ago!
The Delorean does run off the ALT. if the battery is disconnected, although
I know it is not the best for the ALT. just to see.
