Hi All,
Could anyone please share the right procedure to measure the charging voltage generated by the alternator of a 2005 Honda Accord Gen7 type CG7 (2L petrol manual) and what that voltage should measure? Mine measures just under 14.1V when idling, wondering if it's high enough - but perhaps I should just be measuring it at higher rpms? Got flat battery overnight with a 5yo Ca/Ca Yuasa HSB053 battery that gave the signs of struggling lately, so just trying to make sure the charging voltage is fine and check for any leaks (alarm etc) before I buy a new one.
Many thanks in advance!
