For sure, I’m definitely not saying it’s ok.
I might even just take it to an auto elec to properly check out to be sure.

Like Dazz said my money is on regulator.
It happened in Toolangi when I first got the Gq and my battery looked like a balloon!

FWIW: Been running Optima yellow tops D27 & 31’s for well over a decade. Not saying they can’t handle it but have never personally ever had a TD42’s alternator, Jaylec, Baxters, Quickazz ever go beyond 14.8v prior to sludge bastardisation or after.

Unfortunately it looks to be the regulator which was expected.
Very lucky in hindsight as ive been driving it to work recently to ensure its reliability before the big trip so thats bloody lucky it happened here!

Yep, always need some shakedown runs, even some small trips if possible.

Good point. The earth is probably the most overlooked asset of any vehicle.
