Ok !! Ok
I don't think I did any damage!
I just drove the car and my volt meter across the Battery reads 13.8 volts, but what happens is that when the car warms up the voltage drop off to the battery voltage 12.4 If I let the car sit a while and re-start it its back to the 13.8 volts. The time it takes to drop off to the 12.4 volts depends on how cold the car is when I start it. Today here in SoCal its about 80 Deg. so I can get a few miles before the car warms up, but once the car is warm it doesn't matter when I start it the voltage stays @ 12.4 or that ever the battery voltage is at the time. after awhile I need to recharge the battery.
