Thanks Jon. Following Phil's posts I've been observing the output of my C-tek charger and you are quite right, after partially discharging the SD1's battery the voltage did rise to 14.4 v for a period then reduced to 13.7 v. I would like to see if my 75's alternator behaves this way as Phil says his does.
