I have been measuring the battery voltage .

always with dipped beam or main beam .

I put the fan heating to maximum and turn the thermal window, to have a high consumption, relenti begins to 13.2V and after a few minutes I get to 11.9V , then in gear began in 13,2V and rose to 13 , 7V fast , later he stayed at 14V . climbed no more .

an hour after stopping the engine battery was 12,72V

other prueva with the lights off and it all off, a idle being 13.8V and 14V remains , in gear stays between 14V and 14.2V

I think the alternator works well .
