For the collective brain trust,
I have 3 hours on my RV-7A's Phase I. Factory new Lyc IO-360M1B, PlanePower 70 amp alternator (yep, I do mean 70 amp). SkyView with EMS, and VPX.
The alternator charges the battery at a consistent 14.4 to 14.5 volts, with rock solid amperage recovery after start. Using SkyView's default voltage threshold settings, these volts are just barely into the yellow zone, which bugs me because I'm so much more partial to Green.
My questions:
1) Is 14.4 to 14.5 volts a normal and acceptable range, or too high?
2) What green/yellow/red voltage thresholds do you recommend for my Skyview settings?
