Righto. I've got a few miles under me. However, This is one that downright outright stumps me. Buddy on a neighboring island has got two 150kW Kohler generators. One's starter burnt up t'other day. After a funny bit of chin scratching, we tested the battery. It was not only DEAD, but it had REVERSED polarity! At's right. Positive was negative, and verse-vica. Was (is) a standard lead-acid group 31. How'dit happen?? Je ne comprepend-paz. Shows a solid 12V, reversed polarity. Load tester whacks it down to "poor", but far from "nada".
'Zis the battery equivalent of a mid-life crisis? Next thing, is it gonna go out and start wearing clothing innappropriate to it's gender? Buying red convertables?
