help on high voltage reading please 1990 Sportster 883
Hi everybody,
I'm reaching out for a little bit of help here. My battery volts at idle is reading 14.8-14.82 with low beam on my headlight. at a good solid rev and raise in the rpms it jumps to 14.90 but nothing more. Which I think is a good thing its not more than 15v right?
With my high beam on it fluctuates between 13.99-14.52-14.76 on idle.
A little bit of background info. I used my buddies battery for this as I'm waiting for my antigravity battery to arrive. I've installed a new regulator and stator. The battery volts read 12.38 before any initial start so it has a good charge and he hasn't had any problems with his soft tail deuce. I'm only running a headlight low/high beam and a tail light.
What worries me is in the info for my antigravity battery it states it shouldn't reach more than 14.8 volts or I could damage the battery. I don't want to damage it.
Do these readings seem normal??

Not to me, I would not like my charging system exceed 14.4 V. You may want double check your tester, it may give false reading. And FYI, all SI units based on inventors name are uppercase. Volt is named after Alessandro Volta, thus V stands for volt or volts (there is no plural in SI), lowercase v stands for velocity.
