Good video, very useful. Only problem was the music was a little loud after the first few minutes - made it difficult to hear what you were saying. But how do you know if your battery isn't charging the whole way, like in the case of that car? Do you just test the voltage periodically? Thanks.

Thought to ask this question on the tube, and found this video correct. I bought an used Toyota 4Runner (2004) two years back and got a new battery for it at the end of last year. Then it drove fine, good start for a couple month and one day I was waiting at drive thru for way too long and the next day the car died in the middle of the road. My friend helped me jump the car and got it back home the next day, I threw on the charger for a bit and it drove fine again, until two days ago on the road dash told me red battery sign and I was super worried as I was sitting in red, when it turned green I went home as soon as possible and threw it on charger the next day full day lol
