Battery Light On
Hey everyone i was driving to work this morning and my battery light came on. I have the tuner set to stock and checked the voltage with the gryphon and its showing 11.7v to 11.9v. All the cables are snug on the battery, which was replaced a year ago. Any insight may help. thanks!

When I look at those parts I carefully weigh my options. I usually go with the one with the best warranty for the least amount of money. Some of the remans I have bought, have outlasted new ones. See what one would run through www.rockauto.com. Usually sticking with the MOCO you will get the best luck but also the higher price. You may also have to replace the battery again? Just depends if the alt did any erractic charging. Lars

Hey lars thanks for the input, the moco is $240 so i think i'm gonna talk to the guys at advance auto parts and see what they think. I think my battery is ok though as its putting out steady voltage. I'm going in to get it fixed today before it drains the battery

AND, if you have a battery charger, it would be best to recharge your battery using one of those. Alternators don't really like to be forced to recharge a "low" battery, and I'd say yours qualifies on that score.
I've heard about (and experienced) alternator damage due to uncharged batteries in the past. - Jack |
