Charging Voltage Variance(s)

[tysonbisme]

Hi everyone!
It occurred to me that I should look at the charging / battery voltages once I had my sound system installed in my 24' XLT ecoboost. I am seeing 13.6v at idle... is this normal? I have already changed the charge state to 95% in forscan and reset the BMS.
My main question is: What is your voltage at idle? I need a large "control" group to figure out if I have an issue or not.

14.6 to 14.8 for me. Maybe Hybrid is different??? I assumed “at idle” means the truck is sitting still but, running verses truck is shut down??

I have a multi-gauge that includes a battery voltage indication. Mine varies - I've seen 14.6 all the way down to 12.7. Generally, it' starts out high, and then tapers, so it's definitely monitoring battery charge condition. Mostly in the mid-13 range.

2.0 EB engine.

Must be - "at idle" to me means running with engine on, no accessories, in park.

Yeah, I'm seeing 13.6 pretty consistently while parked and at idle.

Wish there was a way to pin it at 14.4-14.6 for audio equipment...
