[QUOTE="TriggerT, post: 415694, member: 3107"] I installed a Datel Voltmeter this past weekend, and overall I think the install turned out pretty well. [IMG]https://lh6.ggpht.com/TriggerT45/SCRVvKuZ6QI/AAAAAAAAAFY/01XX7cUG_Vs/s800/100_0578.jpg[/IMG] The question I have, is what kind of readings should I be getting on the Datel? I tied the Datel into the headlight power, so it should be getting plenty of power, but as you can see in the picture it will read up to 13.3 just idling, and I have yet to see it go above 13.5 at anytime, regardless of RPM's. I found a thread that said I should be getting readings above 13.7 if everything is working correctly, and there is now extra draw on the electrical system. The only thing I am currently running is a ZUMO GPS, and some aftermarket bulbs in the head lights. the battery was just replaced on the bike a few weeks ago, and I usually put it on a Battery Tender once a week. I almost never ride less than 35 miles at a time, and it is all highway speeds. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
