Sunday AM I fired up the RV-6 with no apparent issues and went to a cheap gas stop about 20 minute flight. After getting fuel, battery was dead, prop moved about 20 degrees, then nothing. I jumped it off and it everything seemed fine. About 5 mins from my home field I started getting a lot of radio noise, my KX 155 screen went blank, my garmin 250 XL was going blank then coming back on, and loud noise in headsets, even after I turned off both radios. The amp meter looked normal, just right of 0. I landed and put it in the hangar. Voltage at that point was around 8 volts.
I ordered a new battery, but my question is, do you think I fried any of my electrical equipment? Shouldn't the alternator keep everything at 14 volts, and keep the system working properly. Not an electrical expert. I have a new battery coming and will find out Thursday, just thought I would pose the problem to the forum and see if anyone has experienced this problem. I am not the builder and I am not 100% sure how everything is wired.
Thanks.
