[QUOTE="mu22stang, post: 10033747, member: 81298"] It was the alternator and I replaced with a Ford reman. Here are some points I picked up. -A small capacity battery can be suitable for daily driven use. However, a sufficient and consistent travel time needed to recuperate the electricity used to start the car may be necessary. 10 min drives to work with very little time above 2000 rpm didn't cut it for me. Took a total of 6 months on a brand new battery and alternator to figure that out. Check the voltage on a regular basis and charge accordingly. -When the gauges sweep after you key ON and haven't recently unplugged the battery, the battery voltage and condition need to be checked. In other words, pay attention to blatant - and in my case, continual - warning signs a little bit more than I did. -The voltage reading that sets off the [I]battery[/I] shaped warning indicator on the cluster is for the alternator. I saw this light blink a total of 1 second. By then, it was too late. -Reliability trumps performance. -Dead batteries kill alternators. I know, I know... absurd. [/QUOTE]
