fitted a new Exide 12-19 gel 2 weeks ago
connected the CTEC mxs 3.8 and left it
went out to start it tonight and it just about started, very lazy. went so low it cleared the clock to zero
went for a 10 mile run and checked it with a multimeter. 13.8v when running so its charging ok.
drops to 13.2v when just switched off
plugged the charger back in and it raises the volts slightly so assume it is charging
I will check the voltage again tomorrow to see what has happened overnight and if it starts
Any ideas or is it simply a dud batttery ?
thanks
