stuck the old battery that was on charge since saturday morning and the same 15 cranks to start the engine, also when i put the dip beam on the lights one side was the normal brightness the other side was very dim,, then the full beam was put on only 1 side worked.. i guess this is because the battery doesnt have enuff power to powet them both up
