davidlandy Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 since running one of my batteries down my alternator is charging at 14.5volts all of the time - is this right? I thought it was supposed to be 13.6v ish my set up is a split charge relay to 2 exxide maxximas with an IBS battery management system. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
