I replaced the Alternator. And the voltage reg. There one unit from Veleo. Porsche OEM.

Your right John, it would be a drop. An increase would be a pump / motor drawing more, which is why I def had the seat motor binding causing an issue.

But that circuit is totally offline.

I’m wondering if a Battery can be bad in the sense that when it needs to put out a little more load it acts up?

Since the fix, it’s been 14.6 to 13.9 like a champ. So the new Alt/ Vr is working.
