The battery voltage at high idle is at 6.9V with 6 amps of charging current? That seems OK, maybe a touch low but 6 amps of charge isn't excessive. If it doesn't level out after a few minutes or the battery voltage doesn't rise to above 7v, then you may have a low cell in the battery. However, 6 amps is not going to kill an alternator, its putting out around 40watts. If the starter turns over strongly, I'd leave it. another thing to check, does the battery have removable caps? if so check the water, then put a charger on the battery overnight and see if it comes up some. I didn't mean to come across as pessimistic or #%$ on my 1st post, just wanted more info. thx
