| If your batt. is really dead, it will go that high for a few minutes untill it's full charged. After that it drops back to normal. | |

| If your voltage is over 14.7 you can not run in Stock or SB1-4 classes even thought its stock from the factory the rules state voltage no higher then 14.7 for those classes and that is idle voltage not once you have a load on it, it doesnt go past 14.7 | |
