I was trying to say much the same, but my IPaddress was blocked!
Edit
How about that, you leave it over night, and it fixes itself.

Morning all! Battery is showing healthy readings with and without load with my avo meter but the car's volt meter reads just above the shaded area. Should I believe the car's meter? Is there a way to tweak it to give a more accurate reading? I do tend to watch a car's dials so it's a little unnerving to see a low charge reading. Thanks |

I've no experience with the volt gauge, only what I've read. With a multimeter, what volts are you getting at the battery at about 1500 rpm? |

Battery voltage is around 13.2v not connected: after starting on fast tickover it reads around 14v (I don't have a rev meter), but as the revs increase the reading is about 14.6v, Headlights on doesn't make a difference, so I don't think there seems to be a problem with the actual charging. It's just I don't know whether the 2cv gauge is known for being particularly accurate. |

The car´s volt meter is not accurate. My 2CV volt meter shows just above the shaded area .As yours does I checked the voltage with a multimeter several times and that was fine . It runs well, no problems starting, having lights on etc., even in frosty winter weather, so I would not be worried about it. |

The 2cv voltmeter is an bimetal that is heated by a resistance cable wound around it so nothing accurate as Geeert says. |

Not aware of any. Think it was just a glitch, and an odd error coming up.
