1SM to 2SM battery change, any problem?

check your alternator. baka di lang kumakarga ng maganda or yung load mo is too mch than sa capacity ng alernator.

well, ang advantage lang ng 2sm over 1sm is the stored charged.. kung kasya ba ok lang..

mas malaking battery good for starting. but once the engine is running, power will be supplied by the alternator, not by the battery anymore. so dapat 12.1V at at full load, and as much high as 14.5V if no to minimal load.

above 14.5V sisirain nyan batter mo, lower than 12V didiscargahin baterya mo.

or baka feature talaga yan ng clock-some displays are designed to loose brighness when the park-light is on...

and lastly, ask an ELECTRICIAN, not a MECHANIC.

thanks for the input always yummy. i cheched as per what you mentioned and it's been steady at 14, with or without load. wiith load was i turned the aircon, all lights even at bright including fog lamps. it's steady reading at 14v.

so following your explanation, that's the most power the alternator can produce and yet the gauge light are a bit deem. changing it to indiglo would help brighten up but then i'm more interested to see the odo numbers. any further idea. TIA.
