Hi all,
My alternator is charging around 14.2 volts, is that normal or too high ????
Everything is ok and the alternator light does not come on.
Any help would be appreciated.

That was a quick reply, thanks.
Just seems a bit high. Didn't realise 'till I put a voltage gauge on.
I thought the usual charge voltage was 13.8 volts.

should actually b 14.4V on idle anything over that then u should worry. above 14V tho is nothing 2 worry about. if it drops below 13V with all accessories on then u can look into gettin ur regulator checked.
