I was trying to get my generators testing too but after...

    Electrical issues

    Yeah and I did get a load test and one was going bad. So I put a brand new one in with the same problem, and my other battery was reading like 7v, so I put in another 650 for testing.

But the fact one batteries staying at 12.6v while running and the other draining immediately is what's throwing me off. The battery...

    Electrical issues

    I have my original batteries, but both were reading low so I threw on the 650cca ones mainly for testing. But now my good batteries are charging no problem off of the truck. I tested my alternators yesterday just with the regular multimeter test. Regardless of which alternator was disconnected...
