Hello Andy, how are you.
since you quoted me I'll return the favor. As you know there will be voltage drops in the circuit downstream from the alternator that could be as high as 2 volts. Fortunately if the alternator is properly wired as yours and many others on the forums are, the alternator will compensate for that. It's output should always be higher than the battery voltage or it wouldn't be able to charge the battery or maintain the draw on the system. VV
