From: Rio Rico, AZ.
In addition, your charge rate should be better than 13.5
At that voltage your batteries will be doing good to make it a year before failing again.
I like to see at the very least 13.8 with 14 - 14.5 being the best.
The new batteries may correct that, but if you still have a low charge rate, you are not done fixing it yet.

I'll check it with my volt meter..Thanks. Now my next problem. I caped my finger over the main vacum on my v-pump and it seemed to be pulling good. I found one dry-rotted line and fixed it ( cut it out and slid it back on both sides) can't find any other bad spots. All defrost though, what do you guys think....? It was pulling to the vents eventally but since I cut those lines and put them back on the hubs It want even do that anymore....? There is a white plastic tube sticking out of the side of the v-pump and it seems to have air blowing out of it, is this normal...? Thanks fellas.
