TD5 alternator charge

[Rossco84]

I've seen this discussed in many different forums but no definitive answer has been given that I can find. I want to know if I can get my TD5 alternator to charge at a consistent 14.4v as it seems to start out OK charging round the 14.5v mark but then seems to drop off to any where between 13.2 and 13.9v. I've got a dual battery setup in the car with a third battery in the caravan via Anderson plug. It almost seems like the alternator is temperature sensitive or something? Please help.

I'll let the experts respond better, but my understanding is that once you get to about 80?% charge the voltage drops to ensure no overcharging.
A fully charged 12V battery should be reading about 13.8?V
Now wait for the real answer/s.

I'd be keen to find the answer to this question too, as I can't make any sense if the voltages that I'm reading on my (standard D2a) TD5.
It might be a long while before we get an answer if this thread stays in the SII and SIIA section though. Can a Mod help out?
