System Voltage

[ENGINR]

My data says the battery volts in my system are 14.6v during vehicle use.

Is this similar to what others are seeing?

Slightly higher than what I see. 13.6 is roughly what my cars get.

Same ^

14.6 is too high in my experiences.

 

[ENGINR]

Thanks gents. Yeah from looking over the data it fluctuates from 14.5 to 14.8v.

Time to swap in the new alternator.

Might need to heat sheild the alternator if its near the dump..I have cooked a few now from this.

Mine's mounted to the back of the block using a JayRacing kit, but it was originally mounted at the front as per stock. I melted the plug once and that prompted the shift to the other side!

 

[evo-gsr]

I thought so which is why I added the "if its near the dump" bit!

its only a touch high, normal range is 13.8-14.2

Shayne, is that at idle or high rpm ?
