Well, I may or may not make it. I was going over the car today and I noticed that the battery had leaked and acid decided to eat paint off the tray and generally make a small mess. The big question is why it leaked? The only thing I did was change the voltage regulator a few months ago because the system wasn't charging and I was left at a show waiting for help. I'm thinking now the system is over charging for some reason and cooking the battery. I checked the voltage hitting the battery while running and it was 14.2 (when I put the new one in) and my amp gauge was on the plus side, so I thought ok, good. It was only getting 11-12v to the battery before. The regulator I put in is a solid state regulator that I bought to use in the meantime until I find one that's dated correctly. Maybe the new unit isn't switching off when it should be. So, I'm probably not going anywhere until I figure this out. Ugh...
