Does that sound right? (checked at oil pressure sending...

    Thanks! So far so good with this new battery. Any way to test if I have a faulty alternator possibly causing bad cells? I get strong voltage readings 14.4 but not sure why I'm going through batteries like this.

    After 4 days with (negative cable OFF) the car magically had 9.3 volts. This proves it is a short somewhere correct? It can not be the batteries fault, since I tried this with 3 others including the Si's which is my daily driver currently.
