Idling with headlights off, around 14.5 to 14.9 volts if it's OK. Start the engine and have a friend bring the engine up to about 800 to 1000 RPM and use a meter to test the battery voltage. With the engine running, the alternator should be generating between 13.5 and 14.5 Volts.
To test the alternator on a 2002 Volvo V70 AWD, start by checking the battery voltage with a multimeter; it should read around 12.6 volts when the car is off. Next, start the engine and check the voltage again; it should increase to between 13.8 to 14.5 volts if the alternator is functioning properly. Additionally, you can check for any unusual noises or signs of wear on the alternator belt. If the voltage readings are outside the expected range, the alternator may need to be repaired or replaced.
the alternator voltage at the battery should be between 12.4voltsv-13.6 volts
it should have the voltage regulator built into the alternator
== == It is a 12 volt system. The alternator should put out 13.5 to 14.5 volts with the engine running.== == It is a 12 volt system. The alternator should put out 13.5 to 14.5 volts with the engine running.
The 1993 Chevrolet Cavalier voltage regulator should be mounted on top of the alternator. The alternator will be on the front of the engine.
As little as possible
The battery light is for low alternator output voltage. Try testing the alternator output using a miltimeter and if its less than 13 volts your alternator isn't putting out what it should. If it has low output check the belt tension and all wire connections before replacing alternator
it should have an internally regulated alternator
it should be built in to the alternator
The brake lights come on. The alternator should maintain voltage (14.2) unless the alternator is failing or the battery is nearing end of life.
Normal voltage, checking at the battery or alternator should be in the 14 range.
I believe the voltage regulator should be on the back of the alternator
