Got the batteries charged, the plastic installed and the car put back together. I took it out tonight and went for a drive in the night air. I had about 23 good miles of driving and I could tell that the batteries were getting low. I drove the last 3 miles home around 20 to 30 mph maxing it out. the curtis meter was in the orange area, I checked the volts and they were at 136 volts. I had the brights on as it was very dark tonight and the cd player was on too. I'll take it out tomorrow during the day.
