Hi as you know I wanted to check if my battery was charging now I have put a 12 volt 55/60 watt xenon Bulb in my GN well here are the results after checking with a test meter
Voltage across the battery without the engine running =12.2 volts
Voltage across the battery with the engine running at tick over =14.5 volts @ 1100 rpm
Same as above with 60 watt headlight on at tick over 13.4 volts @1100 rpm
Then with headlight on @4000 rpm = 14.7 volts
Than at the same rpm 4000 turning the headlight off the voltage jumps to 15.3 volts
Is this ok is the battery charging like I said I have no idea with this electric stuff
Thanks for any help
