baaudio Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Okay so my girlfriend's explorer, stock electrical 2000 explorer with a 130 amp alt only charges at 13.8. I had the alternator tested and its fine, I tried another battery as well with no difference. I've done the big 3 with 1/0 and left all stock wiring as well. Even with a different alt it charges low. Any reason for this? 13.8 just seems awfully low to me especially with everything in proper order.

baaudio Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I believe its just regulated at 13.8. But what I'm wondering is why regulate it so low? I have a 97 explorer and I charge at 14.8 with a stock alt. Granted i have the 4.0l ohv engine and hers is the 4.0 sohc motor.

Baydestrian Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 My alt for my 99 Caddy Seville is stock 140amp and it charges at 13.8-14.1, depends on the weather and stuff. It is rebuilt I believe since it went back back in 2009, with that one I would hit the gas and it would go up to 14.4 this one basically just stays around 13.8+. I believe lower than 13.5 is when you should be concerned? 2015 Mazda 6 JVF Customz 4.0 Proto 15>Wolfram W4500 @ .5ohm 2 Sundown Neo 6.5 + 2 CT Meso Tweeters (Front) x Kicker KS6.5 (Rear)>JL Audio VX400/4i NSB-AMG35 (front) / 40ah Lithium Headway (Rear) built by Erni Audio & Electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
