Hi all,

I have a 1994 4 runner that I just bought a new battery for. The darn
thing was not charging with a charger but now the amp meter is reading
on the high side with a new and charged battery, the lights dim when I
merely turn on the wipers or heater? I just had to jump start it today?
I put new terminals on the positive and negative connections to the
battery but not replace the entire cables? Could the cables or voltage
regulator be the problem? I dont quite understand why the alternator is
showing high output yet the battery is dying? Any suggestions welcomed
and encouraged! Than you in advance!
