Default Battery Voltage at WOT

What is battery voltage supposed to be at WOT?

Rev normal it is about 14V

Driving WOT it drops to 12.5-12.6
Is this normal?

voltage should remain the same throughout by design of an alternator. big fat injectors hogging all the voltage? lol.

whats the car? setup? ------ed wiring?

The ELD will output .1 - 4.8 volts to the ECU. This reference voltage is what tells the ECU to increase or decrease the field strength in the alternator, which in turn bumps up the output of the alternator.

rebuilt alternator rebuilt by mexicans in a sweatbench shop, could be part of the reason. the other is, if honda equipped the car with ELD why would they disable it :1

you're essentially running a 1-wire altenator in a FI car. enable that ---- youre going to ---- your tuning up with changing voltages (someone correct me on the honda logic if i'm wrong)
