So I somehow destroyed my battery within a year, it expanded and won't hold any charge. My shop said it either had a parasitic drain causing it to go dead and then it froze or the car overcharged the battery and destroyed it. there is no warranty with either type of damage. A voltmeter says it is charging at 14.62V, is this ok or too high?
