Nope, not at all. In fact, I just replaced the battery because the car had sat over winter and would not hold a charge.
I can remove the battery and it will run just fine, so I don't think we're under-charning at all either. I've exploded a batery before years ago, so I'm VERY familliar with that Sulfur smell.

Yes, even sitting in the driveway. Any raising of the RPMs will cause it to happen.


Come to think of it, this has happened since the day I bought the car. Four years ago.

John, wanna test my Alt?
