Yes, I can put out a maximum of 15 volts, and the voltage rises with the
engine speed. (this is with lights, blower, wipers, etc on too)
At idle with lights on I think I was putting out just under 12 volts
(maybe it was closer to 11)
I need to get a battery for my digital multimeter, then I will have better
numbers.
