3200 Battery Readout

[sco]

Got a flat battery yesterday, which wasn't much of a surprise as the voltage readout had been low for a while.

The odd thing is that the voltage readout hasn't gone up with the new battery - it reads just over 10 without the engine and then 13 when the engine is running - is this normal?

Normally sit's about 1/3 before ignition and half when running.

I got a battery conditioner, 60 pound. Well worth it

That sounds about right. I don't have power in the garage so a bit awkward running the cable in to use a conditioner. The last battery was 4 years old which seems like a reasonable life span.
