Is 13.5-13.7volts too low
Hey all. Trying to diagnose a battery/charging issue.
When I run test 9, it is showing 11.6.volts or so (I know that is low) just wondering if my issue is just the battery or is caused by a bad alternator.
When running the vehicle the volts sit at 13.5-13.7 (pretty much 13.7 most of the time). I thought it should sit between 14.2-14.7volts, however I watched some videos of people replacing their alternators and it brought their volts to 13.5ish...
Thanks for the help.
(Battery is about 5years old...I realize I need a new one, but I don't want to put a new battery into a bad alternator)
Merry Christmas (I am thankful for automotive forums)
