[QUOTE="BassAddictJ, post: 6329798, member: 560415"] wrong correct unessessary and expensive best bet for a battery is a looking at your local craigslist and finding an optima or kinetik in good condition for like 100 for less. 14v and higher is good, especially at full tilt. you really have nothing to worry about. in fact 90% of the people in here pushing large amounts of power sped and arm, leg, and vital organ just to keep 14v at full tilt. it's not nessessary, but if you do anything get a better battery. caps just store power and release it quicker keeping the voltage up, but with no upgrades to the power being being supplied the cap is literally "useless". the only thing to "fix this" and keep 14.9v is to buy an alternator with an external voltage regulator, or find a local shop that can wire an external voltage regulator onto your current alty. the only problem is by having it pump out 14.9v all day regardless will decrease it's lifespan. trust me, spend the money on something else.
