This just started with the cold snap here in Co. Maybe its just a coincidence but i thought I would ask to see if its just temp related or not. I have a 2000 xj. When im stopped at idle the voltage will be about 14v on the gauge. If i use my power windows, defrost, wipers etc. while I am stopped the battery gauge will drop to between 12-13v. If i use my accessories while the vehicle is moving (above idle) the voltage still drops but never below 12v. I had the battery tested and the parts store said it was fine just in its last 1/4 of life. My thought is a bad alternator but im not sure. Can anyone give me an idea of what to do next?
