I see. From my earlier test yesterday, Battery Voltage when headlights and blower are turned on: 13.4 V. Radio is not working since my battery first died and I got a jump.

I took the alternator outside the vehicle to pepboys and they just popped it in the machine in the back and did a test, they didn't really tell me what test but it sounded like basic functionality.

I will take it back to them installed in the car now and ask them to do a load test.
