    Dammit. So thought I finally fixed everything. And just installed a transit blu hf. Car runs perfect. Took it for a test drive. All was good. Then started scanning the gauges cause I was bored at a stop light. Saw that it was charging at 15.1 to 15.5 volts. Do I care? Is it ok for the car to go down to Ohio State for a few weeks before I look into it?

    sure, as long as the battery's not taking a crap. lots of guys are at 15 volts.

    mine is like high 13 at idle to 14 when on the gas moving.

    over 15.3 I have heard that certain things stop working though. Stuff like certain stereos and such.

    Went to get another alternator while my son drive around. I asked him what the voltage was while he was driving. 14.2 to 14.7 with the headlights on. Didn't buy the alternator. Just going to watch until the temps get above 0

    My stock voltage gauge after cleaning and reinstalling my connections just a few days ago was at 15.4. Everything was working fine

    My voltage on the 05 gtp has always been above 15 after cold starting. Highest I've ever seen it was 15.68 this winter when it was in the single digits. Factory battery lived for 9 years with me seeing that voltage daily for the first 2 years I've owned it.
