Wynndiesel Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have a dc power 270xp alt it would put out 14.9v cold and. 14.6 warmed up. after 8 months of use, it now reads 13.8 cold and 13.4 warm. why am I not getting 14+ anymore???vehicle is a 2001 Durango. was powering an aq 3500, sold the aq and have been using a old 2000 watt power acoustik amp. this was right around when I lost that extra volt! I disconnected amp and checked voltage from front batt and alt, it still says 13.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
