[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 499082, member: 3278"] [B]First off. 12.2v is not a satisfactory charge level. Should be way up into the 13v range. So, right off the bat you either have a drain and the engine cannot keep up or a bad battery or an onboard drain on the battery or a faulty engine charging system but we cannot assume anything yet. Disconnect everything off of the battery.....everything. Fully charge the battery with a portable charger, check the voltage level of the battery once charged and the charger disconnected. Check again in the morning. What voltage level is the battery at. This will give us a base line to go from rather than automatically pointing a finger at the engine. [/B] [/QUOTE]
