I would think that 15.3 and or 15.5 volts is a bit high and would have thought it would be regulated to a somewhat lower max.Quote
Laz
Made a few observations with the battery voltage reading 13.9, then with brake application it quickly rising to about 14.5, and falling back gradually once the brakes were released.
Also, noticed today coming down a 400 foot hill with intermittent braking, the voltage went from 15.3 to 15.5. It settled back to 15.3 and (surprisingly) pretty much stayed there for the rest of about a two hour trip on various interstates. This is with the heated wheel on and the driver's seat anywhere from highest to lowest heat.
Now safely back at home and using up the canned goods from my apocalypse survival bunker.

Must have missed the memo. What vehicle do you have that has brake regen? *NM* MarcW - Friday, 28 December, 2012, at 3:09:14 pm |
Wow. I have to get out more. I didn't know the new Boxster came with brake regen. *NM* MarcW - Friday, 28 December, 2012, at 5:39:29 pm |
Me neither. I thought that was a hybrid only trick. What do they do with the 'lectricity? grant - Friday, 28 December, 2012, at 8:20:26 pm |

"Back emf"... haven't thought about that since the days of studying loudspeaker driver technology! *NM* Laz - Saturday, 29 December, 2012, at 9:45:04 am |
Hey, if the load presented by an alterntor did NOT increase proportionally with output... grant - Saturday, 29 December, 2012, at 1:17:16 pm |
