Does anyone know why the voltage tends to dip to around 12.5 volts? I noticed this on both the loaner I had while waiting for delivery of my ATS, and in mine. Both are 3.6 Premiums. I see the voltage rise up to over 15V, then I'll look back 10 minutes later and it's around 12.5V. I thought maybe the seat and steering wheel heaters had something to do with it, as I usually have them on, but I've seen it happen several times now when I'm not using them.
I noticed this because my radar detector shows a constant voltage display, and it appears to be accurate - the voltage always matches what's displayed in the battery voltage information page.
Doesn't seem to be causing any problems, but it's something to keep it in mind if I ever decide to augment the electronics (add a more powerful sub, etc).
