The battery on my 47 CJ-2A doesn't seem to be charging as fast as it should.
The battery is brand new although the battery store gave one that was low on
charge. I charged it up and fired up my Jeep. Then I checked the amount of
volts and my reader said the battery was putting out 6.7-6.9 volts. I also
checked the generator and that was putting out a steady 7.2 volts. After
about 30 minutes of running, the battery was at 7.1. I am totally ignorant
on 6-volt systems. Are these good numbers? Is there a way of determining if
the battery is crap? Could it be the voltage regulator? How can I determine
if it's the regulator?
Thanks,
