Just wondering if anyone keeps an eye on there voltage meter, because I was looking at mine and lately it has been at around 14.5-14.9 when driving and around 12.5-13.5 when at a stop light or when then I turn on the heat or defrost, I just wanted to know what the proper voltage is and if this is normal. can someone please shed some light on the subject for me. thank you!

yeah its normal, when you start to having to jump your car frequently then its time for a new battery as long as the amps stay above 12.5 you should be good.

I'm getting 15.2 to 15.5 on the DIC regarding voltage, seems a lil high, but its been consistant for some time now

Your voltage looks good. Mine will sometimes go up to 15.5 volts but not very often. Also the voltage reading on the DIC is VERY accurite when compared to the voltage that my Passport 8500 says is being produced, they only differ my 1 or 2 tenths of a volt.
