Control alternator + battery - For those who do not know. ;)
When the engine is started and included the majority of consumers filling should be about 14 ± 0.5 volt, depending on the Ah battery and the number of consumers involved, the alternator charging well.
When the engine is turned off on the battery voltage should be 12.6 V at the correct battery.

Re: Little advice - (alternator + battery) 12 years 3 months ago #38985

the above is partly correct as the voltage charging the battery can be as high as 14.8v dependant on load ect as per ISO 13766
also a fully charged battery can give 13.00v with no load

also depends on the quality of the multimeter
best to use a good quality one above the £80 cost
mad about cars and bikes :)
if it aint broke dont fix it :)
