Car batt question

Postby butler_29 on Thu Aug 10, 2006 9:16 pm

Bought a new Transit size battery for my fez 4 months ago

It was showing on my amp when in use never below 13.8 volts(thats kicking at full volume


Now it shows 13.0v when at full volume

what can it be? low water in the battery?

Ive upgraded most of the earth cables in my car.

Tighten every connection and still tight.

There are no screws on the battery theres a lil black thing sticking out like a pipe to pump water into the battery?
