With your car off, you should have about 12-12.6 volts at ur disposal.

With the car running, you should have between 13.8-14.8 volts at your disposal.

Alternators charge your battery with more voltage then needed. It helps charge it better and faster.

^^ that is correct. Also, if you upgrade your battery to somethign like an optima yellowtop you will be able to get a lil more voltage out of it with the car turned off.

I doubt very much an Optima 12V batt alone would give you 14.4V..... but if you use an Accuvolt will tho.
