[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8679955, member: 665412"] 13v is totally fine. You have a 2nd battery and you aren't even using it until you drop below 13v. If you never plan on going above this power level, 12v+ is a-ok and spending money on an alt is not worth it. Just beat on it and if the alt dies, then replace it. A single bank of caps would do more for your voltage than an alternator (for the price). Good job hooking the voltmeter up to the amp input terminals. Make sure you calibrate it with a DMM if it has a calibration potentiometer [/QUOTE]
