Who has an autometer voltage gauge?

How accurate is your gauge? I put a multimeter on the battery and it read 14V. The gauge was only at 13V.

It never seems to read above 13v. Time to call summit racing up and do a warranty return.

I have one and it "hovers" around 13-13.5 volts sometimes all the way close to 14V...

I don't think mine ever hit 14V.

My Sunpro volt gauges show around 13.5-13.9V from the system so it can't be far off. Try hooking the gauge directly to the battery to see what it reads?

My RSM usually reads about 14.1 to 14.3. Would be interesting to hook up a Voltmeter and see if it read the same

mine is at 14volts in the morning, and drops to about 13ish while driving. But when the system is up it drops down to 12/11, lol!
