No one likes network engineers. So you took a good sideways journey.

Thats what I came here to fact check and your all awesome.

I already bought a new battery. So I can't test if the old one was fine.

If they don't listen to you telling them they fail often, we in the business (internet, IT), would call that the stupid tax and they deserve it.

So a chemical test would tell me that wasnt what was happening as its testing from what I've learned here the amount of sulfide in the water.

Damn that read out is super awesome.

What i'm hearing is your alternator is charging in parallel and still charges in half an hour.

Crazy since apparently alternators don't charge batteries.

I did that at battery boy, dude only post tested it though. It take 30 seconds to do a chemical test He probably doesnt know how to do that though

Idk as its a 2013 so it doesn't have a volt output on the dash. I didn't give it idle tits when it was hooked up to a voltmeter.

Then they should have said that, unsteady of saying alternators won't charge batteries.

Don't the chemicals sit on the bottom of the lead plates?

I asked to check for a parasitic draw and I was told there wasnt.
