Right and this is what Mitch was suggesting. But wouldn't my dashboard voltmeter pick this up? It seems fairly accurate than me constantly looking at a voltmeter. I don't have one that let's me set limits or alarms. There are no known electrical problems--no history of blowing radios or headlights. In 8 years and 220,000 miles, the right headlight has been changed twice. ------Original Message------ From: Jim Cathey Sender: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com To: Okie Benz Mailing List ReplyTo: Okie Benz Mailing List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Rotten egg smell from battery?

If this vehicle has a history of consuming batteries and no obvious charging problem signs revealed by your 'static' testing, I'd consider wiring a voltmeter into the car so that it could be watched more closely. Maybe it only overcharges at night with the lights on, or at freeway speeds, etc. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
