Re: Battery going dead
Also, goto AutoZon, Advanced, or Pep Boys, they will check your Battery/Alternator for free.
Engine off should read +12.5 to 13 volts, engine running, look for +14 volts.
Also when running, turn on all lights/radio to place a load, and read Voltage.
Could also be a faulty Alternator, but the battery check above should narrow it down.
