It's a long story that - I think - ends with me replacing my alternator. As it sits, the battery in my unstarted car (1990 900 vert) reads 12.05 volts.

(1994 2.3) My a/c's been bad for a while and I had it diagnosed so I knew the condenser and drier leaked but the compressor was probably doing fine. Estimate was $1200, and all the shops I called said about the same. As this is clearly unreasonable I left it alone for some time. Until today...
