vettedude102 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) I put my alt in my car and with the car off the voltage is going up. I don't get it. Has this happened to anyone? This is one thing I don't much about. Everything is hooked up the right way. (I think) Voltage is staying at 13.2 for now. any help would be appreciated because when I get this put in I can listen to the lvl 5 Edited October 8, 2011 by vettedude102 Quote 2 polk audio 4x6'skenwood head-unit 220 amp Mechman alt1979 Corvette 2003 corvette z06 alpine radio and the bose system that came stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 How much does it go up? Where is the voltage meter hooked too? How long does it go up for? How many batteries do you have?

vettedude102 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Car on it's 14.4 volts. The 13.2 was the car off voltmeter hooked to the battery Quote 2 polk audio 4x6'skenwood head-unit 220 amp Mechman alt1979 Corvette 2003 corvette z06 alpine radio and the bose system that came stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettedude102 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Maybe I'm just overthinking it and it's not really a bad thing Quote 2 polk audio 4x6'skenwood head-unit 220 amp Mechman alt1979 Corvette 2003 corvette z06 alpine radio and the bose system that came stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vettedude102 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 im confused now, that is voltage going down. so car on is 14.4, off is 13.2? Yeah. I had left the lights on without remembering then it had went down to 12 volts then it went back up to 13.2. My main thing I guess is I thought resting voltage would be around 12.5ish volts.

MrSkippyJ Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 sounds like you have a high resting voltage? sounds like a good problem!

dkindle613 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 The better resting voltage you have, is good. My resting voltage is 12.4. And I have 2 of the biggest optima yellow tops they make..
