Hi.
This is my first post on Retro Rides.
I have a 1983 Porsche 944 and I'm having a problem starting it.
The battery charges up fine to roughly 12.5v but when I turn the key the car refuses to turn over.
Its trying to but theres clearly not enough juice to do it.
I put a meter across the terminals and that showed a drop down to 8v when cranking.
If I use another car to jump start it, it starts fine and runs with no problems.
Does it sound like the battery is kaput and in need of replacement?
Hope someone can help
