Since the problem doesn't come out while the car is being monitored, maybe it overcharges for an instant and the ECU doesn't notice it happening? idk i'm just trying to rule out some possibilities since i'm not detecting any overcharging when I have the battery/alternator checker clamped onto the battery.
EDIT: I haven't gotten and tried another battery yet. I'm still in the process of cleaning and repainting the places where the battery leaked |
So I have been watching this thread since you started it and reading through your previous posts and looking at the pictures, I see that you have the older style current sensor. The note in the picture notating the model year changes of the current sensor from 2016 to 2017 which is now a battery condition sensor, indicate that the charging system has been redesigned from three phase to single pole for efficiency purposes.
Is it at all possible that your alternator is the redesigned part from 2017 and newer? Did you purchase your car brand new or did you purchase it used? Could it be that the prior owner installed the newer-style alternator instead of the correct one for your model year, which could be causing the problems that you're experiencing with the batteries leaking?
