Cranking voltage varies between 9.3V and 9.5V, start by start. Despite being at full charge.
Battery Tracker shows consistent low cranking voltage and gives this warning below.
I guess this means I need to replace this (13 month old) original battery?
Charging from alternator is good. The ESS Aux battery has been disconnected for a couple weeks, and the Main battery stays on a tender every night since a couple weeks ago when I discovered both my Main and Aux wouldn't hold a charge. Noco 10 Repair function brought them back so both now hold a charge, but I've left Aux disconnected and don't use ESS, though it seems to work fine too, with main only. They probably suffered that parasitic death-dance the Main/Aux ESS system seems prey to.
I assumed there would be some permanent damage and I'm guessing this consistently Low Cranking Voltage is a sign of that damage?
