EcoDiesel 3.0
I've got a 2018 Ecodiesel Tradesman 4wd which I picked up Oct '22. It's been running fine (aside from a loss in mpg). I have noticed my EVIC was showing 13-14v on my battery, but since I installed my sound system it shows 13v consistently. Today I replaced my battery, it had the stock battery and has been dying everyday after sitting for 8hrs. Well I checked the terminals while it was running and noticed I'm only getting 13.5v. is this normal? What do you guys see on yours?
Thanks.

I've read anywhere from 13.2V to 14.7V from the ECU (via the Torque app). The voltage seems to run higher the colder it's out and right after the vehicle is started.
