Low voltage
Alrighty guys this morning when I started my car it sounded like the battery was low, OBC says 11.86 with the car off. Started it and it went up to 12.2, driving it only goes up to 14.02 max and jumps around between 13.5-14.01. During idle it drops way back to 11.8. If it was charging at 13.5-14.0 why would the battery be so low... diode drain also?
Sounds like an alternater to me but wanted to double check here before I start swapping out parts to find the fix.
Edit: The battery is only 1.5 years old
TIA
