Hi! Is this an appropriate voltage?
I plan on upgrading to a HO alt (300a). I'm wondering if I should get the 14.8 voltage regulator. Otherwise I run at 14.1v.
I have a 2300 watt sound system I am trying to support.
I want to ensure that 14.8 is still good and will not mess any of the internal electronics.

 

Electronics will probably be fine but the battery not so much get the 14.1.

 

Could you explain please? I thought batteries are fine with a 14.8 charging. I'm smart, but when it comes to cars, I'm a brick. So please lay it on me.

Keep in mind, hood is AGM - not sure if this matters for your post.

 

I've read that as well but in my experience AGM batteries don't last when they consistently get over 14.5 volts. Then again I don't like AGM batteries at all and only use them when necessary like for a hybrid.
