Hi Peter,

You want around 14.0 charging volts.
14.5 Volts is too high, you'll blow out lights too fast.

Service the battery and alternator connections.
Look for suspicious corrosion at wire crimps.
Check the heavy red wire between the starter and the alternator first.

Pay extra attention to the alternator D+ Red-white lead that works with the Voltage regulator.

Service the alternator connector and use a little dielectric silicone
on reassembly (Maybe there's corrosion?)

Good luck, Bill
