what?
do you mean volts? Around 14 to 14.5 any higher and you cook it.
Do you mean amps? Not sure how you would measure that.
Do you mean sitting around with a drain? like do you need a tender or what?

I thought it was a straight forward question. Yes volts. Sitting, driving, whatever. Don't complicate it!

I was going to say 1.260 for a hydrometer reading (talk about old school

I've never bothered to look it up in the FSM, but 13.8v to 14.2v at idle with no load has always been my rule of thumb. Ambient temp has an effect on this as well.
