Ok so i had another thread going recently in which i redid my entire wiring to the battery in the hatch

have some new issues... im thinking it may be a bad battery

The car wont crank on 12.5 volts, battery is charged 100% ...when i charge it it makes weird gurgling noises is that normal? its a interstate battery

so i put my battery charger on it and if i use engine start, it still wont start, however when i put it on charge mode, it raises the voltage up and car starts right up, i can then take the charger off and start car repeatedly until im back down around 12.5 volts then it no longer wants to start and i have to hook up charger again

anyone have any idea why this could be????? is 12.5 volts where a battery usually sits after resting a while?

i tried another battery but i think it was a bad battery...

If the car is drivable, go to AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts or other large auto parts retail store.
They will test the battery and charging system in the car for free.
