Thanks Ben,
That site also has some great trouble-shooting suggestions: "Low Buss Voltage can be caused by several things. Worn Brushes on the Alternator. Poor Grounding . Abnormal resistance in the output wire . Resistance in the aircrafts Field Circuit . Heavy electrical loads - battery discharged- pitot heat - landing lights- storm scope etc. can quickly add up to a 50 amp load . Alligator clip a wire onto the output terminal of the Alternator and compare output voltage to the voltage on the buss . They should be within .1-.2 volts difference . If you are getting more there could be a problem on the output wire. The Voltage Regulator is typically not the culprit in Low Buss voltage. The vast majority of the time a Voltage Regulator would fail completely and totally and not weaken . " The other thing that came to mind was the possibility of single shorted cell in your battery.
