I'm running 3 helix units, mega live w/target lock the heading sensor and the occasional radio. I was just thinking that on my volt meter, I could see how much voltage was being put in the battery by the charging system instead of just the battery voltage itself. Is there a way to check that? I'd like to know how many volts are going in the battery from the rectifier throughout the different rpm ranges if it's possible.

Connect your VOM directly (set to DC volts) to the battery and monitor it at different RPMs.
