### Car maintenance
- Battery maintenance tips  
    For proper alternator functioning, turn on the car, the battery will get charging and will show 14.2V to 14.7V on multimeter. If it’s above 14.7V, then alternator is overcharging the battery.  
    If voltage is below 14.2V, say 13V then the alternator isn’t charging the battery properly. It’ll still charge it but you’ll burn more fuel for the same charge.
