Sears says battery is good!

[DMPLATT]

I've been having issues with my charging system and it would appear, and Earl re-assured me that my battery is toast. It's a DieHard and only about 2 months old.

I charge it up over night. Pull the charger off and it's checking 13.4v. I let it sit for awhile and it checks 12.4v. It never drops below 12.4v. From what I hear it should NOT drop below 12.8v.

I took it to Sears and they put it on their tester and say nothing wrong with it. I had the kid show me again and the mini tester puts it thru 4 or 5 load tests and it never gets below 12v, so it shows good.

Ideas?

Thanks.

The battery is bad. Fight them.

That was the key word---Mini tester. Follow Hoomies advice..

8) A die hard from Sears should have some sort of warranty shouldn't it?

I'd see if I could get an exchange. If not call or write Die Hard. It's what I

would do. 8)

Dave same issue with my ride at one point and when tested showed fine but try this.

Install the battery after a charge and turn the key on. Under load my battery would drop to 8.5v. Replaced the battery a Viola!
