i'm losing voltage. bad! as in, i can watch the voltmeter drop and watch the lights dim as i drive... it does this even w/the stereo off... i suspect that it could be the battery. i froze it solid when the car was in storage and it took 3 days to charge.

does anybody have a battery charger??? i may have to get a new battery but that would help for a bit anyway... deep cell here i come (maybe)... hopefully it's not the alternator...

could it be a loose belt? I have a 12-volt charger, well actually my dad does. Id have to borrow it to you for a short time so he wouldn't find out. It always seems like whenever I borrow something of his to a friend, he ends up needing in that night.

Sey Jeremy do you think you could help me do a load test or something of that sort sometime? I think my alternator is getting funky and any help would be greatly appreciated...
