Yes sir. I've ran some logs in the past and the voltage while cruising usually settles somewhere in the middle of that fluctuating range with the acid battery. Full throttle will spike the voltage. I'm wondering if the lithium battery keeps it higher in that range while cruising and at smaller throttle openings. I'll make it a point to run some logs this season and then in the winter when I put the acid battery back in. I guess that will give us a definitive answer and at the very least feed our curiosity.
