Battery light
Does the battery light stay on when it is overcharging? The alt. is charging around 17volts when it is revved up. I know 14.5 is about all it should charge. But the light stays on when it is charging at 17 volts.

Shouldn't charge at 17V's
It will fry the battery if it hasn't
already.
And mine with the stock alternator never charged
at 14.5. That didn't happen unitl I put in the 120A
alternator.
