I also have the same ACR as mentioned above, plus I have the same Guest onboard charger for my two main batteries that Reelescape has. My problem which happened this past weekend is the guage only was reading 12 volts....we know what that means!! Soooo, I just ordered a new alternator for my engine, should be here in a day or two. Anyway assuming your batteries have been tested and are good, the 16 volt reading as mentioned might be the voltage regulator. In most cases the alternator and regulator are in the same housing. My two cents worth....take your time looking for a new alternator, in my case they ran from $500+ down to $96. I was going to go back with a Delco just like what I had and pay the extra $75 until I took it off and saw it was made in Korea.....now all l I care about is the best deal. I'm a poor bastard.
