There has been a lot of talk about batteries lately, hardly surprising at this time of year. My query relates to voltage readings on a multimeter taken after a full charge from a (new) battery charger. The car in question is a '98 5 series BMW that has charging/jump-starting facilities at both ends of the car ie the battery itself in the boot & live/neutral connections under the hood. The strange thing is that the reading taken from the latter was 12.7v whereas direct from the battery posts themselves was only 12.47v. Given the length of cables between the two I would have thought the readings would be the other way around.
Any thoughts guys ?
Happy New year to all.
