Well That was fun!
So I got in the truck yesterday and it cranked a little slower, oh well it sat from Wed night, dirty batteries(?). Coming home from work, it smelled in the vents from batteries cooking.... popped the hood and the pass side batt was venting just idling. So drove from beltsville, battery was HOT!! I got my induction amp meter, charging 10-15 amps, checked the pass battery, it was drawing 50amps to ground!! Got some Exide batteries from Salvos and started putting them in at 7:30 done after dark. Today charging good, my meter was dead so got one at work 14.45 volts running and 12.9 off. The dead battery case was bulging, showed 10.5 volts. Probably orig batteries.
Well that was fun!!
