Possible battery issue?

[Jobofly]

My battery is fluctuating up when coasting and down when giving throttle. Is that a symptom of something to come or is it normal and I’ve never noticed it before?

That is normal behavior. When you get to 2+ years on the batteries, and start seeing constant voltage readings of 14+, then it will be time to start being concerned.

When the batteries are fully charged, it will drop to around 13 while running. It is normal to be 14+ when started, and fluctuate while driving.

Yep. My local dealer just did a courtesy warrantee on both of mine. I say courtesy because they didn’t show bad…just low. They did a deep charge last Saturday when I brought it in. Drove to Chili’s ate lunch. It almost didn’t start and within two hours. They were dead again the voltmeter red in the nines. The charging brick I purchased, jumped it like it was nothing it’s a horse, but I don’t wanna have to lift the hood anytime. I want to start the vehicle. Brought it back in Monday morning the batteries read the same and that’s when they said they would just replace them as a courtesy.

you might also hear it if you leave the vehicle and double hit your lock button. The little horn chirp didn’t sound like it was a full chirp when the batteries are going down.

and for what it’s worth, I will never leave home without this again…
