Your earlier post said you removed it
Barton told you the alternato volts should be 15 volts

Is prob not the APC
15V sustained is too high, except in sub-zero tempeatures. But 13.6V minimum, generally. More than 14 after a long starter crank.
Oops. Forgot about the 0.7V drop across the isolator. 15V is not too high.
