Paul,
Actually it's more like 13.6 volts, and varies considerably during charge and
loading. That's why there is a car voltage regulator, and an instrument voltage
regulator, and that's why it's set below the fluctuating driving voltage.
It is regulated for accuracy (such as it may be), and it "stabilizes" the
driving
force for the gauge system. Our good friends T. Smit and C. Bennett have each
designed solid state replacement devices, for those that demand the very best.
