Hi all,
I'm just doing some checks on the car, want her in top top condition, so I did a little check of the battery today via the voltmeter. I wonder if anyone can tell me if the figures look ok, or if the battery and/or alternator appear to be losing effectiveness. I used the max/min function to record these figures:
ignition off voltage: 12.22V
Engine start min. voltage: 10.40V
Max voltage: 14.56V
After I started her I checked the voltmeter and saw that the voltage climbed steadily from around 13.2V to the max voltage, then she appeared to hold a steady voltage of around 14.2V.
Any good? Thanks all. Recently bought a 2007 RRS HSE TDV6 for a Pimp-My-Ride-Project.

Thanks RRSTDV8. Seems to make sense, given that I've run her dry on many silly occasions (doors open, tv/radio on whilst cleaning interior, headlights kept on).
Do you know if a tired battery, such as mine, can affect the longevity of other components such as the alternator? If not then I'll keep her until year.
