Indeed but for 1 year I drove around with one of those Digital Volt Meters that plugs into the Cigar Lighter and I previously never had the Charging Voltage go above 13.7 Volts.
The Same when I once in awhile tested the Voltage under the Hood with the Volt Ohm Meter.

So I was surprised when the higher Voltage showed up.

My AC and Widow Defogger don't work and the Radio, Heater/Defroster or Plug in Fan, and Lights are the only Electrical loads I normally have during driving.

At some point I might change the + Cable and see if that has any + effect on the charging Voltage.
