Hi,
I've just encountered a problem with my '95 YJ Rio Grande.
A couple of months ago I replaced the battery of my YJ. But now the problem starts again that the battery is running empty after a couple of days. So I did some measurements. When the Jeep is running idle, its charging the battery with 12.5 Volts, when I'm revving up the engine, it is charging with 13.5 - 13.8 Volts. Looks quite normal to me.
After a long trip, I measured the voltage of the battery, this was about 12.1 Volts. I left the Jeep for about 20 hours, when I measured again, the voltage of the battery was about 11.3 Volts. This doesn't looks good to me. But I'm not an electrician
So my best guess is that the electricity system of the car is "leaking" somewhere.
So, where do I start to check what is going on.
Thanks in advance.
