On the vehicle info screen on the Jeep dash (EVIC) there is a tab for a Battery Voltage gauge.
On our JLUR this gauge reads 14.2-14.7 volts consistently when driving at normal highway speeds.
Is that reading normal, wondering what reading other guys are seeing?
Seems too high to me to be running over 14v all the time.
I assume this gauge is actually reading the alternator output but it seems odd that it would read that high all the time since the battery is always fully charged.
When I read the voltage across the battery terminals with a volt meter when the engine is not running the voltage is 12.6v, which is normal for a full charge.
We have no problems or error messages but I am wondering if the alternator is putting out too much juice which could kill the batteries.
Thanks for any ideas.
