A few weeks ago I had left the lights on for a minute and the car was dead. I pulled and charged the battery and for a week on the bench it has been holding steady at 12.9 volts more or less. I posted about it here https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcforum/u...one_#Post637012
I will put it back in the car, start it and test the generator to see what the output is.
The question is can I start it and disconnect the battery and have it run on it's own like an alternator car? I learned when I was younger that a quick test of an alternator was to get the car started and then pull the + battery cable off. If it died, the alternator was NG. I do not know if this is a test that will work with a generator.
