I had to give it a push start.I thought i just drained the battery (Optima Red Top) but after i got it started it wouldnt charge higher than 13 volts (with Headlights ON). Everytime i stopped at a light it would drop down to about 12.5 volts.Once i got on the freeway and drove for like 40mins or so it peaked at a Max voltage of 13.4-13.5.... But then once i stopped it dropped to about 12.8 again.I let the car sit for about 1 hour and started it up again and the car was pushing out 13.8 volts with no accessories on.So my question for you guys is did i Drain the Battery or is there an alternator charging problem? The optima is only 35,000 miles old.I would appreciate the Input guys.... Did i just drain the battery or do i have another issue?</blockquote>
