NBs typically run 15 volts, so the voltage is fine. As far as the hot battery, I have seen Optimas run hot when they won't take a charge. Or they may all run hot and we don't spend much time in the trunk while we drive. A trunk monkey would know...

The gell cells take a little more voltage than lead acid so 14.4 is spec. Shouldn't be a problem. Lastest and not so greatest.........my alternator seems to be over charging. I have made it 650 miles into an 800 mile leg. I am going to sit for a bit to let it cool off. The battery is an Optima Red Top. What's for dinner tonight?
