Interesting post, David. My sister-in-law is a 7th grade elementry
teacher, and she actually had a student come up to her and ask how long
he could goof off through the year and still pass...

He was working on a plan...

Cripes! Get the Alternator replaced and/or fixed!

I'm working on a plan...

For the past several months I've been running my van with no
alternator. How low should I let it get before charging the
battery? I've just recently started monitoring it with a tester.
It started today at 12.66V, and after starting the engine
twice was down to 12.50V, then after one more it was at
12.47 or something like that. How low to let it go? If I put
it on charge too soon, will it "develop a memory" by burning
out cells,or whatever happens when they turn to junk like
that?

Thanks,
David

Did you bother to read the first post from this group in answer to your
question? It said your battery wasn't a NiCad and wouldn't suffer from
memory loss. It further said to put it on the charger.

You didn't reply, so I assumed you understood.
