I've seen a lot of cars where the battery and alternator both go around the same time for some reason.
Thanks for the info. I tried the voltage test and drove the car around for 45 minutes. It pretty much stayed steady between 13.9-14.1 the whole time. A few times when the car was idle, it would drop to 13.6 for a second then jump to 14.4 then settle back at 14. The 4x4 light never came on and there was not any problems during this time. It seems to happen once every 4-5 days. The Rayovac battery is only 2 months old and the problems only seem to happen once I changed the battery.

Any additional feedback would be appreciated.
