I have a fairly new Delco Battery (under a year old). Last time I drove my car was 3 weeks ago.
Went to start my car and all I got was getting was one loud click from the starter solenoid. Proceeded to check battery voltage to measure 12.02
So I jumped the car and got it to start and then measured my voltage again to get 14.7 I then let car run for a good 15 minutes and kept rpms up to 2000. Came back the next day to check voltage and I got a reading of 12.19
Car was able to start and after letting it run for a while I disconnected the battery. Came back the next day to check voltage and I got a reading of 12.51
Then I checked current draw with my multimeter to see if I had a parastic load on the battery but got a reading of .010 amps (10 milliamps) which is OK.
Reconnected the battery and checked voltage the next day to get a reading of 12.16
Does it appear that my battery has a problem?
