Voltage from alternator?

Post by mark.hingston » Thu Mar 24, 2011 3:36 pm

I have just replaced the battery in the Bongo, when being replaced the mechanic checked the voltage from the alternator, it read 13.57. He said it should be around 14.5, is this so? would appreciate any info on this one. Cheers.
