I was lucky enough to get a 220 with a voltmeter gauge. 14V is as high as it gets, 13.5 with the headlights on. If your car were to get lower than 13V with the wiper motor and lights on, the battery will take forever to recharge. Remember, starting the car steals a lot of amps from the battery.

Letting any car idle to charge a rundown battery is a waste of time and gasoline, to say nothing about wear and tear on the engine and cooling system. Use a good trickle charger for at 24 hours, or over night at a minimum.
