not sure, but it might make sense that the car is trying to charge battery and sending more current to battery.....

stuck the old battery that was on charge since saturday morning and the same 15 cranks to start the engine, also when i put the dip beam on the lights one side was the normal brightness the other side was very dim,, then the full beam was put on only 1 side worked.. i guess this is because the battery doesnt have enuff power to powet them both up
