        Bad alternators do not produce extra voltage. Bad regulators do that.

          done tried 4 :-/ All where the same.. Well with one it was at 19 degrees so eh..

          I do have a thought though.. Could i have a bad reader? Cause it is still showing it as charging when the key is off and out..


          Just a thought i been having )

            What do you mean it's still showing it as charging with the key off and out? Like the battery continues to read 16-17 volts?

                Are you saying it's going up and down as you read it with the car off?

                    In that case I'd check it with another meter just to see what's going on. It's possible you've got a problem with your test equipment...

                        If you're measuring the battery in degrees, thats probable the problem. You should check it with a volt meter, not a temperature gauge.

                          hes not measuring temperature, hes reading the degrees of wobble on the hydrogen atoms.

                              That sounds a lot more reasonable. Glad to hear you got it figured out, mang!
