anyone else installed a voltmeter??
care to share ur car voltage when
1. idle (engine n battery cold)? - 14.4v (de highest achieved)
2. idle (engine warmed-up)? - 14.0v, sometimes down to 12.5v
3. engine off? - 12.0v to 12.5v (old batt)
4. when driving? - 13.0v t0 14.0v
5. at nite(with lights on)? - 12.5v to 13.5v
i noticed de autogauge meter readings is less by 0.3V compared to my cheap digital multimeter.. n de place i tap de voltage (cigarrette lighter socket) is lower by 0.2V compared to de battery terminals.. so i have to add 0.5V for de real voltage...

ehem, me back! :lol: :lol: :lol:
by ur reading bro, about 12V, a bit low la
but wats this 1-5 thingy? izzirt ur real readings? cos i read prevuiously u mentioned 12V plus minus then its low. u might need volt stabilizer, which i incidentally have oso :lol: :P :P
ok more serious, u got wat electronics in ur car ? just to check ur voltage requirement etc.?
if 1-5, then ur fluctuation a bit high lor
