I am having an odd sort of issue with this 2010 Accent.
After it sits overnight the battery shows about 12.35v.
I have charged it a few times and it seems like within a day its back down again.
Previous battery was an AAP Gold 1.5years old. I put that one in the tractor(tractor needed a battery)
and put a new AAP silver in the car.
Its doing the same exact thing.
When going down the road I see 14v.
It does have the headlights on most of the time and radio(just factory radio).
I don't drive this car except when troubleshooting or after maintenance ie tire rotation etc.
Car has 62000 miles. the battery light came on 1 time only a few months back at -5F going uphill.
It also has the org. belt and no splash guard.
AFAIK this car doesnt have any kind of smart charging system.. so I'm thinking alternator + belt while doing the alternator.
Any thoughts?.. probably wont get around to this soon been doing this since december.. battery doesn't go dead.. but doesnt charge fully.. kind of an odd problem.
Note I tested parasitic load and after 15min(iirc) its a very low draw.
Also the previous battery seems to be fine in the tractor testing around 12.65-12.7v
This is the same vehicle that has the michelin defenders that are on schedule to be below 4/32 tread @23000 miles.
