    i had a car charging at 15.5 volts and the tester said it was good. now the one camary i tested with it that was charging at 46 volts it realized that was too high. And yes, i did say 46 volts. i ducked next to the car telling them to turn it off bc i didnt know that was possible. lol!!!
    when i got to autozone, i turned off the car and tried to crank it back up so i didnt look like a dumbass if they asked me to crank it up.

    the tester showed 13.8V

    that means ur alternator was working at that time. do u know what the CCA rating on the battery is versus what it put out? What kinda accessories are on the car. you may have not touched anything lately, but if u have some ghetto wiring somewhere u could have a wire that finally rubbed the insulation off and is grounding out. <-just throwing some things out there for u to check saturday. oh and a dead cell in a battery would read 10.6 when u turn the car off. it wont be able to hold 12.5 volts any more. hmmm, what else.....you could let somebody who know wtf they are doing fix it for yuh. LMAO!!!!!!
