    Alternator output

    2002 200efi serial # OT468833

    currently my alternator output is 13.2v at idle and 13.6v at around 1500 rpms. What is the normal alternator output for this engine? I am thinking it usually is closer to or over 14v at idle.

    Is the battery fully charged or depleted?
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Are you measuring on your electronics or with a meter at the battery?

    Using my fluke multimeter at the battery. Also should note, my meter readings at the battery and at the alternator are exactly the same so that tells me the wiring between the components are good.

    about right for idle will increase as rpm goes up 14.6 max
