What voltage is you alternator giving, the standard alternator for a 95 is set at 13.8 volts which is not enough to fully charge a lead calcium battery which you have fitted.
A 13.8 volt alternator will be OK for long runs and warm weather but will only bring the battery up to about 80% charged. Cold weather and short runs and it will not be good, the battery will slowly die.
+1put a load across the battery and see if the voltage drops!!
I'll bet nobody ever thought of that before
I always think that people who buy these things would be better off spending their money on a book (remember books) on basic electrical theory. Then with that knowledge, and a bit of logic, they could work out most of these 'faults' with a basic multi-meter. After all how often do you need to check your battery?
