The system is not giving me full boost, only about 2.4 psi max and the voltage meter is dropping to 18 to 17 V under activation, momentarily drops to 0.00 V and the boost is gone, and then reads 26 to 27 V with the throttle pedal still wide open. I have PM'd Rob and am waiting for a response, but was wondering if others have had this issue as well.

Here is a data log I took today

This was a WOT pull.

Also, just measured the voltage on my ETX16L dump batteries. 12.6 V and 13.05 V on each. Not sure if that is "low" though. Shouldn't they nominally be around 13.5 V to 14 V?
About 2-3 years before replacement. Yours are probably ready or will be soon. Time for new ones.
