Hi all
I am trying to figure out if this is normal or not.
When I start the car and it's idling, the battery voltage is between 11.2 11.6v and then while driving, suddently the voltage goes to 14v which is more like what's to be expected. If I stop somewhere and let the car idle, it still idles at 14v then.
I moved my battery to the boot about 2 years ago. Would it be explained by the fact that the battery is grounded to the chassis in the boot and no cable that runs from the engine bay? Because when the alternator charges it goes up to 14v...
Anyone?
Frank
