[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8839778, member: 614752"] High Output Alternator. This by itself may not be a fix though. Some vehicles just charge low from the factory or will charge at different voltage depending on various variables like temperature and load and change as you go. You must do some research into where your car is supposed to be charging and see if there's a simple fix to make the stock system charge higher or consider buying a high performance alternator that is internally regulated. 13.0 charging seems unusually low and this may be a problem with your current alternator. I'd look into that first and foremost. If your car is only meant to charge at 13.0 I'd say that's barely adequate to properly maintain a standard battery and you will struggle running any big aftermarket accessories on that. [/QUOTE]
