Reply to "System Voltage"

I run a LED digital Volt gauge. Very Accurate. YES! It will show a constant Voltage of 13.5 AFTER the Battery has "Recovered" it's charge from starting the engine or from 'sitting' for a period of say, one week. While driving on the highway at speed I have witnessed the Voltage at 14.5-14.6 Maximum. This is normal with Amp gauge showing a 'Light' charge of 10-15 Amps (Battery NOT fully charged). As the Battery gets closer to being fully charged, the Indicated Voltage will proportionally Lower to 13.5 Volts Minimum with the Engine Running at cruising speed and at Idle(Charging System Active). With the Engine turned OFF the Reading of a Fully Charged Battery is 12.4 to 12.5 Volts so there you have it!! These readings were taken at the center console 'Cigar Lighter' curcuit coming off of fuse #9, The 'Parking/Running' lights were switched ON, ONLY while the Engine was running. These readings are the exact same as when I also used a Digital VOM. Regards, Marlin.
