Ya. Good points Tim. Love the alt wiring harness repair. Beauty!
I guess it goes without saying that my 'lights on' test is a waste of time if the alt harness or alt is not charging the bat.
I do usually put the bat on my home charger first THEN do an examination under load.
I don't have the specialized equipment but Toyota thoughtfully equipped the van with thirsty headlamps. A person can get a pretty good idea of battery health while parked in front of the house, splayed in a lawn chair, drinking a beer and watching all four bulbs glowing away for a while. Or 'going away' if the battery is junk.
