I seem to be having a problem with mine too. It reads like 12.30 volts at idle is that normal or should i be sending it back?Stay away from EA. . . Two of my teammates got EA alts installed right before finals. Both of them had voltage regulator and both of them sucked. It wouldn't hold steady voltage at idle nor at 2000 RPM. Dom from Iraggi was there and took a look at both of them and couldn't get them to work right either I believe.
One of my teammates sent his EA in to have a voltage regulator added to it. When he got it back, the battery post was broken off and Nate was hardly any help.
