Subject:      Bad battery cable? 90 tintop
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hello Vanagon land!


I'm looking for a reason NOT to change the battery cable.


1990 Vanagon with a 91 Subaru 2.2 in it when I bought it.


Battery charging problems.. The alternator is putting out 13-14v with
the engine running, the battery is showing 12. whatever and it falls
slowly as the engine runs. I put the meter on the battery cable at
the  batt cable/alternator junction at the starter, 13-14v.


My thinking is 14 volts at the alternator, 14 volts at the starter,
then 12v and dropping at the battery... there is there is something
wrong with the cable.


I can use some back up on this, I've been missing things.
