Reply to "Hot Battery? Overcharging?"

lousbbyMember

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions today. Autozone swapped out the battery for free, I went ahead and changed the voltage regulator, changed the negative ground cable, put a new end on the positive side, put the battery in a plastic box but could not use the lid due to the hood. I put a volt meter on the battery and it stayed between 12-14 volts when revved. Then I started the car again and disconnected the negative cable and the car kept running so I new it was getting power so with the car still running I checked the volts coming from the regulator and they remained between 12-14 volts. I think since I do not have hood vents that the trunk temp from the radiator heat caused the battery to appear to be overcharging.
Perhaps I need to line the trunk with a product to help keep the trunk cooler?
