Also, I'd like to see what your battery voltage is right now. Do you have a meter?

They "said" it passed testing and charged , the battery is 7 months old, and my cluster gauges are kinda off. Sometimes the gauges just might go haywire , (voltage and oil). But right b4 the car stopped my Dic said "check gauges - volt" but i also didnt know if the voltage regulator was interal or external

I don't care what 'they' said. I would like to know what your battery voltage is. We can't help you diag if you don't answer our questions.

How long did they charge it?
