Thank you. Race never entered my mind when I wrote the post, only safety. Urban areas all over the world have bad neighbothoods. Race has nothing to do with it.
Thanks, I did have them ‘test’ the system (see how many amps and all the other tests) but the initial low voltage (with my regular 25-40 miles per day) suggested that the battery needed a test (rather than wait for the battery to fail and not start)… and, in this case, a replacement…
Most households have a voltage tester of some sort. For our original question, I would run a voltage test and if the overnight is 12.5+ then I would not be concerned with the immediate state of the battery… Would you agree? J
