So I have ordered an alternator but might not see it until Friday. Checked all the cables and wires, and replaced my main battery today with a brand new one. The big question now is how far can I travel if the alternator is going from 13.7 volts to 12.5 volts and the battery light is on and off from time to time? I need to travel 105 miles to the hospital and back so 210 miles tomorrow and my van is the only vehicle I have as it is a wheelchair setup for me.
I have wired the aux. battery so I can switch to it for emergency starting purposes thru a high amp boat switch but worry that leaving that switch one to the second battery will burn up the factory wire that is the trickle change for the aux. battery. Anyone??
