creyc Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 add a voltage regulator that is adjustible. problem solved Agree, or if your alternator has an adjustable regulator (like my mechman), turn it down a volt. Read the manual/specification of your batteries, most do NOT like charging at 15v!

newls1 Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 im at work so I just had time to finally disconnect my MLA, removed both mla pigtails from the alts, and just plugged in my factory alt pigtail to the 1 alt closest to the throttle body, and voltage came down a whole 1.2/3 volts. im now a little better @ 14.7/8v....... The MLA is still powered, as I dont have the tools here to remove the power/ground wires for it, but since it is not connected to any of my alts, should make a bit of difference.

thehoe92 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 had one cold start up like yours started at 15.8 then touched a 15.9 then settled out to 15.2v difference is I just slam on my system until it gets down driving around I see 15.2v constantly and I've had no problems with my kinetik bulging Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creyc Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Wouldn't a MLA module be smart enough to back off on the voltage a bit when it starts creeping up higher? Seems like a good feature to add...

Iraggi Alternator Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) I personally cant wait til this whole..."Man... My voltage is 15.4! Its awesome!" craze is overwith. Hopefully soon. I mean come on... seriously.... Just because it gets a little cold outside and your voltage goes up a few tenths and you start having problems dont you think thats a little much......
