[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8839694, member: 674149"] What vehicle is it in? If its the 95 cherokee, it could be a bad voltage regulator on your alternator. If you have an older one (and you don't NEED to upgrade it), the voltage regulators can go bad when the brushes wear down. They would be a fraction of the cost of a new alt, and are usually the easiest thing to rebuild, (and the easiest thing to qualify as a "rebuilt alternator"). On mine it was $40 vs $180 for an alt, and two screws to swap it out. Some newer vehicles, up to the last 15 years or so, depending on the make and model, 13v might be what it's supposed to do.
