[T3] Charging Voltages

[Daniel K. Du Vall]

Thanks Jim I have been seeing 13.4 at above idle and have been wondering if it's time for a regulator. I have the new/reman Bosch generator I got from you installed. I think I have a mechanical regulator right now.

At idle, you're not charging, so there's nothing to learn there. At 2k - 3k you should see 14.1 - 14.4 at the battery once everything is warmed up and fully charged. (Take it for a drive first.)

Since the battery is somewhat hard to get to, you can make approximate measurements at the generator or fusebox. Generator voltages will be ~1/2 V higher and fuse box will be ~1/2 V lower.
