Buying aftermarket battery - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ok, just put my voltmeter on both our Yaris and Honda CRV and when cranking the system, the volts dropped from 12.8 to about 10.5 for the Honda and 11.5 for the Yaris, then they hovered at about 14.6 each during idle. I would say they are both starting to wane since I learned that they should not drop hardly below 12 volts when trying to start the car and the CRV is worse and may be set for a replacement soon?

My brand new battery sags to just under 11 when cranking. My bad one would drop to 8 volts during cranking.
