That is true...off my dick.

Id have roughly 12.3volts then it'd drop into the 11s (with the car not running).

Old saying goes, never let a mechanic install your electronics, they are clueless.

Weren't you the one arguing with me about the alternator charging voltage? Ill back up what I said 100%.

Should be mid 14s, if in the 15s, your alternator is stuck in the "on" mode if that makes any sense.

If you new anything about electronics you would know running things with with less than full power is not good for them at all.

& yes with your car on your battery should read about 14 volts.

i do a lot of that

zoo how do i test it

first jump it? then what let it run for 20 mins to charge the battery then what?

The alternator should never be used to charge the battery. That's one of the fastest ways to kill it. Jump it off and let it idle for 15 min with the dead battery. Put your hand on the alternator casing. That will tell you all you need to know.
