What's your volt meter reading when cruising around town? Options

[raynekat]

Just curious what the typical volt meter reading is:

1) when you're sitting at the stoplight

2) cruising down the boulevard at 3-4000 rpm

Trying to see if I'm seeing typical or low readings
Thanks

I just recently noted a low charging issue that I believe came down to an alternator/voltage regulator mismatch.
I was using a Bosch VR with my Motorola alternator.
Now I've switched to a Marchal VR and the charging voltages look better.
About 13.75 volts while cruising.

So the real important thing for me is fit in the car.
I obviously did all my measuring before purchase and this battery looked perfect.

And it was.
Fits the stock battery tray perfectly.
Even the stock hold down clamp works nicely.
This battery has the necessary "cleats" front and back such that it is very secure when clamped in place.
Not too tall.
Can't tell you if the rain tray would get in the way as I don't run one with my six.

Another super important thing is that the terminals are in the correct location with the negative closest to the firewall.
It was like this battery was meant to go in a 914.

I may get a bit creative with some vinyl and some graphics to change to cosmetic looks of the battery, but that's a minor issue in my mind at this point.

Time to drive and enjoy the car without worrying about the battery any more. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
