So WarrenW ,what were your concerns about the alternator in the first place? Did you have an issue or just wanting to test it? Just curious.
I bought a used battery (money is tight after paying 2 deductibles for 2 insurance issues) and it started up easily the first couple of times then wouldn't turn over after that so I thought maybe the alternator isn't charging the battery. Now after the test, it looks like I'm just going to have to buy a new battery.

Oh...I see. Too bad the battery isn't going to work out for you.
