Hey guys... I have a 1 wire alt on my Mustang. This past weekend I took it off to do some work on the car (installing a billet electric water pump), and when I put it back on, it's charging at 16 volts. Used to be around 14 volts. So, my question is is this going to hurt my battery? (It's an Optima) It's really just a strip only car with very limited street time. I suppose the regulator on the alternator is fried or damaged....

Re: 1 Wire Alternator
Measure the voltage at the battery itself, with a good handheld voltmeter Generally it should not go over 15 volts (on an accurage voltmeter), if it does you should see about replacing the regulator.My fabulous web page
