Default C6 battery... what reading?
My battery would not start my '05 coupe after I accidentally left the ACC on overnight. Charged it, went for a test drive and noticed that reading on the dic showed between 14.0 to 14.3. What should my reading be?

I usually have 14.4, but it does fluctuate.

It will be higher when cold and right after starting, and a bit higher if it is charging a low battery, but once its warmed up normal can be anywhere from 13.8 to 14.5. (Engine running)
