[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8747809, member: 591582"] I don't think that's true. My alt was rated to charge up to about 18-20v, so charging at 15 wasn't much of a strain at all. You're well within the design of the alt to not shorten it's life span, IMO. If it's cold enough, many factory alts can technically and naturally charge 15, because of the cold. I don't really think it's that much harsher, unless you're charging 14v batteries, or 16 or whatever vs 12v. I think charging 12v is gonna be a very similar strain, regardless of voltage, as long as your aren't over-volting. [/QUOTE]
