Re: normal battery volts
That's normal for your stock battery.

Re: normal battery volts
In order to charge a 12 volt battery the electrical system doing the charging has to be greater than 12 volts. 14.4 volts is the standard regulated voltage for 12 volt systems.
DC electrical systems are also prone to impedence losses through the wiring network. You may measure 14.4 volts at the alternator but you may only get 11-12 volts at the tail lights. |
