I have peace of mind though due to my testing just like you, now I am confident that when I see 12.5 on my dash, I can be certain it's 13.5+ at the battery ( this is when everything is running full blast ( blower motor, lights, cooling fans, etc ).

I hear ya. Ive been reading about a lot of temp, oil, volt gages that don't read correctly. You would think what we have to pay for these gages that they could at least do a little better at quality control. I'm running Classic Instruments.
