I believe they should be at, or barley below the center mark in the gauge? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | "about" center, they all vary a bit, they're not precision instruments .... if you question whether you might have a slight "leak", take a wire off the gauge and see where it sits, should be the same as with key off

As stated, best way to tell if it's just the gauge or if it is a discharge is to remove power from the vehicle and see where it sits.
Good luck
