Re: New Battery Help!!!!!!
Why did you replace the old battery?
Test the system voltage when the engine is running. (As noted above, it should show 13.7 to 14.5 volts, no more).
It is possible that your alternator is overcharging, it cooked the old battery and is now cooking the new one.
However, it is more likely the new battery is bad and should be replaced free of charge. A lead-acid battery that is fully discharged, like yours was loses about 10% of its effectiveness, even when fully charged again; so its worth it to get a new one under warranty.
