Well.......I have an NA, and I KNEW I should have got that trunk monkey when I had the chance.......DAMNIT!
I put the multimeter in the trunk to be a ghetto trunk monkey.....I'll see what the temp is when I stop later tonight. I wa testing the temp @ the master cylinder with headlights up/down and fans on/off since I have to use a toggle swith to activate the fans right now. Headlights closed fan off 130 Headlights open fan off 100 Headlights closed fan on 150 Headlights open fan on 110 Did not know what ambient temp was, the is with the waffle shield and low profile headlights.

As far as the hot battery, I have seen Optimas run hot when they won't take a charge. Or they may all run hot and we don't spend much time in the trunk while we drive. A trunk monkey would know...

The gell cells take a little more voltage than lead acid so 14.4 is spec. Shouldn't be a problem. Lastest and not so greatest.........my alternator seems to be over charging. I have made it 650 miles into an 800 mile leg. I am going to sit for a bit to let it cool off. The battery is an Optima Red Top. What's for dinner tonight?
