    Battery Powered 323!! Help!

    As the title says the 323 is battery powered for some reason

    the Altenator is putting out 14.57 V to the battery wire and reads 14.55 at the battery.

    this is my second Brand new battery this week and after 2 days it has died AGAIN!

    the battery drains slowly to the point that the light will dim then the radio will flicker then hardly any lights
    till the motor sputters and misses when I hit my turn signal.

    Any ideas?????

          Is it a rebuilt autozone one (or something similar)? Do you have a shop that specializes in alternators? We're fortunate to have a alternator rebuilding shop here in town somewhere.

            go get it load tested.
            The T3 BP MX-3 conversion has begun, and is taking forever & will kill me.

              That happened to me once. My alternator had died so I replaced it, but afterward I had exactly those symptoms. Eventually y alternator mounting/adjustment bolt fell off so I put another one on, adjusted it and that took care of my problem.

              I can't say for sure if that's your problem, but it's something to look at.
