Phat VR6 3 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 The alarm (if you have one) will drain alittle power. Mine still started after been off the road for about a month....If you get it started give it some revs to get the alternator charging and put a muit meter arcross the battery it should read 13-14 volts, If it doesn't your reg or alternator is goneTom Link to post Share on other sites
