Re: "Otherwise if she is going to be driving for awhile coming home that may well work pretty good for charging it up as well.."
No, no, the van belongs to Joey now. It sat unused in Virginia since February when I retrieved him to New Hampshire. I'm sure that's why the battery died.

My wife is driving her car back to NH (sounds like it will be Monday. I can't wait.) The van will stay down there with my son. That's why we want to make sure it's healthy before she leaves him. Joey is not at all mechanically inclined. In fact, he's the only young man I think I've ever known who hates to drive. If he's at all nervous about the van, he won't use it at all and then we'll have a dead battery again the next time we show up.

The readings are fine De.
13.7 is good with engine running and the 12.37 is over 12 volts but not quite 13. That could be because the battery is not filly charged yet... I would hook a battery charger up to it when itgets home and let it charge for for a few hours, remove the charging cables and then putthe volt meter on the battery and see what it says...

Otherwise if she is going to be driving for awhile coming home that may well work pretty good for charging it up as well..
