The problem I’m haveing is that my battery keeps dieing overnight. I can pull the battery cable while the car is running and it still runs. I’ve checked the generator while the car is running and am getting 12.7 VDC. If I disconnect the generator leads and check both pos and negative to ground it is showing a dead short and if I check pos to negative I have a dead short. Not real sure what is happening or if the generator is supposed to read like that. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
