Yea i know ,my battery's on the rangee last about 30 months ,my wife's car ,6 years and still on the same battery it cam with But in my cars defense iv never had to change a light bulb in ten years ,except two indicator bulbs which still worked but were not yellow enough:(,,,Now iv often though about changing my alternator reg to a higher output,but these things have more computing bits than an Apollo moon mission ,....Now im just asking ,do you think higher volts would damage ecu;s ect...........RR.
No it would be fine.

A 14.7 volt regulator will do no harm. The ECU's voltage regulators can cope with a couple of extra volts, what they cannot cope with due to poor design is low volts.
The last battery on my P38 lasted over 8 years, it was taken out by an alternator failure or it might still be going strong.
 
Actually ,thinking about it :rolleyes: think it might have been the waking up ,not sleeping ,cause more than once in the last 10 years she was a bit lazy in starting .....But since iv disconnected the wee blue wire on the lock /receiver this battery's doing very well.... ,prob jinxed it now:(.:D.......RR.
