Ok, checked the battery myself. It reads 12.53V. I thought it should be 12.6 to 12.8..? Anyways, I really don't know how to check the voltage drop anywhere else with the meter so if you'd be so kind to give me a pointer on how to use the meter and where to check it...do i disconnect the cables?...yes I'm a newbie but I do read! I'll be checking the web to see how if none replies fast.
