Re: Testing Alternator and R/R
Output when all is off is already higher I think charging battery may make a difference.

Re: Testing Alternator and R/R
Revised measurements
Battery is now fully charged I am getting: All off: 13.8v Lights ON Idle 14.1v 5000rpm 13.8v Lights OFF Idle 13.9v 5000rpm 13.5v Does this seem OK or is it likely to die on me again? |

Re: Testing Alternator and R/R
Looks fine. The all off value will settle after a few hours after being switch off, so dont worry when its drops back down to 12.7 ish.
