Typical voltage regulator on an automotive alternator will provide 13.6 to 13.8 volts when the engine is running. As the batteries get charged up, which happens pretty quickly for a starting battery, the internal resistance of the battery will increase and the voltage will drop below 13.5. The

One big issue here is that a lot depends on how much you use your batteries and how much you use your engine. If you motor a lot, you may have a chance of recharging the batteries (fully or close to it and even overcharging them (as Joe said)). But if you mostly sail and use the engine as auxili

An alternator with a fixed set point will try and reach that voltage but not go over. It may not be able to reach it if the batteries are low and/or demand is high, but it will not go over. I have an adjustable regulator with a set screw to turn the set point from about 12 to 15 volts. Various

An alternator, if no external smart regulator is present, will put out whatever the internal regulator is set at. It could be anything from 13.4 V to around 14. For a shore charger it is best to have a smart charger that will reduce the voltage to around 13.2 to avoid boiling off the electrolyte
