Have each tested. Only way to really know for sure. Batteries these days are lucky to last 3-4 yearsView attachment 708709 If not for efi readout, would not be aware. No other symptoms. Should be 13 or 14 right? The dime store power master is about 15 years old. What output and brand is recommended? Battery is ancient too. Is it struggling to charge a bad battery?
If he has that large of a Voltage drop from where the EFI is connected (Ate the Battery if they follow the directions) to the battery, he would have bigger problems.Take a meter and go across the battery terminals and measure. Your readout circuit location is unknown.

View attachment 708812 I’ll check connections first. There is a large plug receiver new to the battery area since efi. Also put a high power Receiver in recently. I trickle it on occasion. On the subject of variations, the coolant read 151 on the aftermarket gauge and 171 on the Edelbrock tablet at the same time. Different take off points? Suffering from TMI these days.
Also new sensor vs old.. I had two coolant gauges and dropped both sensors into boiling water and they were both off, both around 10 degrees lower..Can be,if the 2 sensors are in different locations. Using a laser temp gun I've checked temps in several different places of a running engine. Such as thermostat housing, top of rad, bottom hose connection, front of head core plug and block core plug. The temps vary as much as 20* or more.
Drop was 200 to 300mVWhat was ouput off the alt charge stud with all the accessories live?
Ground it back to the battery neg when testing.
