Okay so I put a yellow top d34 battery in my ve ss. I have the volt and oil pressure gauges on the cheap Atari screen or what ever u call it.
After I put it in and went for a drive the volt gauge was one bar off hitting 16 and it would drop back up a bar and then go back up one which is I thought was great. That was about hour of driving.
The next day it's back to its normal self where it always sit with my old battery sitting most of its time on the 12 and going up to 14 occasionally but not staying there very long then goes back to 12.
My question is because I don't get Holden to service my car have I missed software update that tells the alternator to charge the battery longer or something like that. It just seems odd that's all that the battery was great and now it shows that it was no better then my old one. Going by the gauge that is.
Am I expecting to much or is this normal
Car starts fine no dramas at all.
