John M.---I recently replaced my six year old Diehard with a new one.
Wondering how fresh this one would be, with a dusty top plate, I brought
it home and it showed 12.7V with my (hand-held) voltmeter. After running
the engine for a short time the meter showed 12.8V. I suspect it took a
surface charge. Dan the Man said that a good battery should show 12.6V.
Fair enough.

Someone(Randall maybe) here recently stated what
the voltage that a fully charged 12 volt auto battery should hold. Could
you repeat it. I'm rehabilitating a red top Lucas Pacesetter battery
with EDTA and was wondering what my goal should be. It's holding
12.6volts after a full charging. Thanks and Merry Christmas,
John Mitchell 76 TR6
