Re: 98 GRAND CHEROKEE BATTERY BEING DRAINED Part 2
Well Matt
Sorry that I have only been an operations director at several
aerospace firms, including General Dynamics and Litton, which included
responsibility for test and calibration labs. Apparently, my
aerospace experience doesn't match your education. Oh, did I mention
that early in my quality engineering career I performed product audits
on spacecraft that landed on the moon? With that background, how
could I possibly know anything about something as simple as a
lead-acid battery?
If you want to learn something, instead of just arguing, pay attention
to the post by DougW above. Pay particular attention to the discharge
curves which show clearly that battery voltage DROPS as it discharges.

Well ----
As I said I have no intentions of flaming any one, I'm just talking from
first hand experience. If sitting in an office as a director gives you
first hand knowledge than good for you.
Really can't top a trip to the moon Cliff yer I mean ----.
I only started the thread looking for some help, and you sure have offered
up quite a bit so I want to say thanks for all your insight.
I'll be starting a new thread on the electrical problem be looking for your
comments.

Being a supervisor/manager/director is not all sitting in offices.
For example, when I set up a calibration laboratory in one of my
facilities which would be traceable to the then National Bureau of
Standards, I did it all. Determined the equipment required, helped
install it and trained the technicians. As a quality assurance
manager I wrote all the procedures for the q.a. manual. When problems
developed in customer's products for a commercial company, it was me
that went out into the field with equipment to do the repairs. I
didn't start out as a director. I worked my way up the hard way
getting my hands very dirty along the way. I did most of it with only
a high school education, which included becoming a rated, flying
officer in the Air Force. I didn't graduate from college until I was
41. It is also very difficult to be a good director of anything
unless you already know a lot about it.
I am only trying to help someone who has asked for help. I worked for
40 years before I retired, and I enjoy passing on what I have learned
along the way to others who may not have had the experience or
education that I have been exposed to in my career. I can't force
anyone to accept help.
