Actually 12 volt is the term, but the voltage on the electrical circuit of the car since it's not regulated is what ever the alternator is putting out. 14.3 to 14.8 cold and after the alternator heats up is may drop to 13.3 to 13.8. That's why installing a new up to date alternator with the current behind the voltage will make the car run better and supply the power needed to run the components as they were meant to be.
