RE: My Battery
no, it's good. means your alternator is running well. also means you can probably get away with underdrive pulleys for certain.

RE: My Battery
should be 13.6 i believe for a fully charged batt while car is running. it should read 12.6 off (2.1 V per cell) and 13.6 when running (i think, alt increases volts by 1 last time i checked)
