Replying to: kathychung (Aug 14, 2009 5:11 pm) How old was the battery? Did it ever need water added? Sometimes an old battery will draw a lot of charge current due to worn out plate separators. The alternator would have to supply that extra charge current. That increases alternator drag and makes the engine work harder, especially at idle.
