Re: Battery STILL dying

More info to help diagnose. I can jump it with battery cables and it'll run for hours (literally I did it)... so I assume that means the stator works properly. Also the Starter actually works since I can start it with the jumpers. I replaced the Rectifier because it makes the most logical sense but ...

1985 Spree in Positano Yellow

Picked this up this winter and been working on it a bit off and on. I got it running well with a basic tune up but can't get it to take a charge or hold a charge.
