Decaf Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) resting should be 12.8-13.3 do u just have 1 stock wet cell...? replaced it with dry cell...? rear batts...?????? try charging the batt(s) overnight so the alt isnt trying to recharge the batt(s) and supply the amps Edited April 22, 2010 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dugee81 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Cheap alt, u get what u pay for man. You cant expect the same quality to go into a $100 investment as opposed to a $400 one.

aleroking Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 my friend went up there they just changed his regulator to 15 volts the guy did a load test in front of him with a 250 amp load the alt voltage wasnt dropping at all Where going up there today because the guy is talking about some computer in the car could be holding the alternator back or something.
