Reply to "Battery Issue?"

Thanks. I was wondering about the regulator as well. Had to replace it about 3 years ago for some reason I can't recall. Not sure if there is a way to test it or just replace it instead as a first measure. At rest without car running the volts are about 12.25 or so. Here is another video below, this time with lights on. At the beginning of the vido the car is at idle with lights on and volts read about 11.4 or so, then I take it up to about 2,000 rpm and volts pick up well into 14 on the meter. Also see my amp meter on the dash about 1/2 way into the video how it shakes around quite a bit when going from 900 rpm idle up to about 1,500 (and then after that at higher revs it settles out not shaking like crazy).

Just hooked up the volt meter to my Maserati, and ran it the same way just so I can get an idea what this should realy look like on the meter with a normal car. It was 12.4 prior to starting, then went to 13.50 while ideling, then to about 14 with some rev. Got about the same scenario with lights on. So in other words, things seemed to stay in a rather close reasonable range, not like with the Pantera going from about 11.4 idle up to 15 on higher rev.
