Wally World confirmed it was bad and gave me a new battery. Just a bad one or did the electrical system cause the bad battery? Alternator was charging fine when I installed it and this was the first issue with the battery charge. 2001 Toyota Corolla 1970 FE5 Duster 360/904/3.91's SOLD 1973 TB3 SpaceDuster 340/4spd/4.10's SOLD Moparless for now but when the opportunity is right I'll have another one.
