well both batteries tested good and so did alternator. donno what the deal is. the voltage at idle a few mins after turning it on is 13.38.

confusing part is after i shut it down and plugged in the trickel cell charger it didn't seem to charge. infact it was showing a very very slow drop in volts over a few mins of holding my gauge to the batteries. started at 12.59 and slowly dropped to 12.54. i'ma let it on all night and through tomorrow. i'll retest it around same time tom eve.

maybe i have a bad wire somewhere that is draining my batteries?

with my results does it sound like my volt regulator is good?
