[QUOTE="Met, post: 8722418, member: 681511"] This alternator is already internally regulated :( I'm still building the wall in the rear, so this is just idle with nothing pulling on the system. Not even headlights. The voltage is consistent, at idle its 12.1v, as I raise RPM to 1100, it rises with it to 14.8v (the setpoint) and stays at 14.8v until I let off the throttle. It drops back down to 12.1v once it reaches idle again. But like I said, a few times I would hold 1100 RPM for a minute or so, and then when I would let off the gas and let the RPM drop back to idle and the voltage would hold 14.8v indefinitely until I restart the car. But this only happened 3 times, out of the 30 or so times I've tried to recreate it. I don't understand why a few times it worked right, but the rest of the times it does not. I appreciate the replies! [/QUOTE]
