Re: [DML] Re: Accuracy of charging meter

Mine moves normally, but it seems to drop quite a bit while using
acessories. At normal idle with no lights on the needs sits above the 13
volt mark. If I have the high beams on with the brake lights it drops
drastically and everything dims. Thanks for the info, I'm probably looking
at getting an upgraded alternator to deal with the load.
