I am given conflicting "advice" from "experts"about the battery charging on
my 03 Forester, because I only do low miles..
One says the battery is only charged when cruising,the other says it only
charges when a load is applied or on over-run[free running down hill]
The second guy suggests running with the lights ON to keep the battery fully
charged.
Seems whacky to me , but if it is so , is there a way of wiring the side
lights via the ignition switch auxillary so that they go off with the
ignition. All this stems from a moonlight that will not work properly, will
only travel 3 inches with each button push, and low volts are suspected, a
it clears itself after a run.
