HI,
My car battery on Zafira b 2006 1.8l Petrol goes flat every so often.
I have just replaced it for a Bosch 60A battery, but I have realized after not using it for a few days the Voltage dropped 12.3V to 11.5.
I have tested the alternator (used a clamp meter, put it around the red cable next to the battery) and it’s showing 32A.
When I turn the lights and heating on it drops to 29A.
I thought that the alternator output should be around 80 or I’m wrong?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Robert
