Topic: whats the problem with my voltage?
well for starters i have a 2001 chevy blazer. The electrical consists of a 200 amp H-O alt, the big 3 done in 1/0, optima yellow top under the hood and 2 HC2200's in the back. When i first hooked up the batteries in the back my voltage "cold" would be around 15.1v and stayed around 14.6-14.8v after warming up consistently for about a month. Now on a cold start i'm lucky to see 14.5 and it'll rest at 13.9-14.1v after warming up...what happend here? I have a 3rd hc2200 waiting to be wired up but i wanna get this problem figured out first. I was thinking of getting a mla module but not sure if this will help, or if it's just my alt starting to crap out. Someone please give me some feedback
