A few weeks ago, My car battery died and an autoparts store used an 80A fast charger to recharge it. The battery tested good. I made a thread on it here:
Before, Id start my car and the voltage would go up to 15V and after 15 mins of driving, the voltage would go down to 12.9V. Basically the computer detects the battery is charged so it tells the alternator to trickle charge the battery.
Now I noticed that the battery voltage stays at 14.3V for Hour long trips. It's almost as if the car cant detect if the battery is charged so it keeps the voltage high. The car starts up just fine.
Did the rapid charge do something to my battery to make the car think its not charged? Or does the computer need time to re-learn the battery capacity?
