[QUOTE="pbtjrlmrt, post: 1416934, member: 31858"] You have gauges/information on your dash where you can monitor the charging. I've seen it charging at 14.5v all the way to work after sitting overnight and I've seen it at a more reasonable 12.5-13 and everywhere in between. When it shows charging at 12.5 I assume this means it is topped off. Whatever you do...DO NOT listen to idiots that tell you to disble the battery management system...it's there for a reason. The truck does a good job managing the battery and may not do what you would do when it comes to topping it off but if it's charging and you see it dropping off to 12.5-13 I'd say everything is fine. The highest I've seen it charge is 14.5 after sitting for the weekend...it's all over the board really and ultimately it comes down to 12.5-13 so I believe it's topped off. Remember****It is not good for a battery to always be topped off. Even quality battery tenders will deep cycle the battery now and again to keep em healthy. This is why the foolishness of disabling the BMS(Battery Management System) should be ignored. [/QUOTE]
