Yep. It's telling me not to leave the lights on overnight. :)
Gotta do some diags, but for right now it's taking a charge nicely.
Almost up to 15V and if it makes it there then the battery is ok
it's just my pension for the sterio and mostly dark driving that has
slowly eaten the battery down. Might upgrade the alternator.

I remember when folks woudln't remind me my truck lights were on.
Then they started reminding me my Jeep lights were on, but they turn off
by themselves.
Me thinks a dual battery setup is in order.
That or an extra brain.

Re: Bah.. me battery died.
Ya, I was looking at those....but I couldn't really justify it before.
So far as being out in the bush with a dead battery....well, I don't go
alone....so that's covered.
To get the right use out of it, I'd have to carry it with me....and
certainly it's a pain without the cargo room in the TJ.
