If you are getting 13.8v at the battery then your alttenator is fine and if you are only putting out 7v at idle then you may want to go to a deep cycle battery as suggested. Repeated draining and chargeing a battery will kill it very fast. This is why boats use deep cycle batteries because they are running accessories and lights when not running.

Hey lordmetal

Won`t that pull down motor keep running when it goes bad...I`ve had a fair share of gm`s kill the battery because of those trunk luxuries Maybe it kept running and you didn`t notice it and now it`s not acting up?
