My LSC will drain the battery in less than an hour at night w/ headlights on. Day running will also drain it, just alot slower. 1st thing is the optima battery won't charge above 12.3+ volts on the trickle charger.

Sounds like a short inside the battery. If the battery were good, the voltage would slowly rise as the battery charge increased.

I replaced regulator w/ no luck. Oreilly hooked up their gadget and it said the battery needed a charge and that the diodes were OK. (good alternator?)
Can someone tell me specifically how to bypass the alternator. I think that if puts out <12 when I bypass it, I'll replace that 1st. It has the remote regulator w/ 4 wires going into it (battery, field, stat, and a ground? I assume?) I need to open up the wiring cover to be sure.

There is an alternator testing section in
this guide.
