Well, after some TLC my LR3 threw a wobbly at me!
After being sat out for a week the battery died. So I charged it over night and it ran fine for a few days. I did the 753 screen check on the voltage and it was all over the place, 12.0V to 14.0V.
The wife drove it to work on Friday and and on the way home she got the "low power mode" on the radio so I told her to leave it alone and get get a ride to the campsite...
Yesterday I tried to charge the battery, it was having none of it. I pulled it and the two end cells were low on fluid. I topped them up with distilled water and it still would not take a charge, it was sat at 6V.
So today I went to costco and got a new battery. At idea the 753 screen shows me 14V.
The question is, is the alternator actually ok? Well, is the regulator on the alternator ok? Any thoughts or suggestions welcomed.
