I've had trouble starting my 1008 the last few times and I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Today I tested both batteries after it wouldn't start and the back battery was 12.5 and the front 11.9. The way these batteries are set up, shouldn't they both read the same? Also, thinking about the front battery being low I checked for parasitic draw, but after checking between the negative terminal and negative cable on the front battery, I was getting only 3.5mA, which I guess is acceptable. Any thoughts on where my voltage is going after a few weeks of sitting? And followup, if my battery is just bad, do I need to match my battery cold cranking amps, or can they be different? Are the CCA addative the way the batteries are set up, or does it only turn on the lowest cranking amps?
