[QUOTE="mu22stang, post: 10026722, member: 81298"] So, after some more research here's what I've found: -The PC680 is good for daily driving IF your drive distance is sufficient enough to allow the alternator to recuperate the discharged energy caused from starting the vehicle. My typical drive of 10 mins (to/from work) apparently wasn't. -As stated previously, Terminators are somewhat known for low idle voltage. This doesn't help the first one. -Small draws from 'constant ON' sources such as the ECM, PATS and even my wideband can take their toll. -It can take up to 3 or 4 days to recharge these little guys once they've sufficiently discharged. Hopefully this will explain why my 24 hr charge stint at O'Reilly didn't do the trick. I bought a new OEM battery today. Hopefully a quick load test won't tell me I killed my alternator. I'll be picking up a battery charger as well. [/QUOTE]
