my battery was at 12.8 but i had no starter action, i had what sounded like a relay clicking and all other lights.
i checked voltage at starter, it was 12.8 (big prong and ground, i didn't check anything at little prong).i cleaned all connections and put in a new starter with the same results. battery still at 12.8, starter voltage still at 12.8.
charged battery up to 14.2 and car started. waited 6 hrs. battery now at 13.1, car starts and alternator puts out 14.5 with nothing on and 14.3 with ac and radio on.
everything i read is starter should be okay at 12.6. should i suspect something in my battery is bad, or something else in my starting system is bad?
