Fwiw, my 981's multi-display shows voltage, and right from cold reads > 12.x when idling. Laz - Wednesday, 30 April, 2014, at 10:13:17 am |

I know 12 Volts is a nominal figure, but I don't think the battery is being discharged at idle. Maybe the energy recuperation stuff has something to do with it. Also, wasn't the move from generators to alternators partly to increase charging ability?
That's great record-keeping! 12.3 is a familiar number, and it's been as high as 15+. Laz - Wednesday, 30 April, 2014, at 1:07:27 pm |

I've been told by Porsche roadside assistance (FWIW) that the Boxster's battery does not charge while the car idles. My experience is consistent with that.
