Yes, I will do this too. Just as a point of ref, I tested my wife's CR-V when I parked it right after she came home from shopping this morning. I started the car and walked into the garage, got the VOM and put it on the battery posts. It showed 14.2v at the idle speed. This after having been driven @8 miles and shut off when she got home.
I'm waiting on the switch before connecting the battery in my car. Also waiting for the temp to come down........sheesh they said it was going to be hot, but really?

Looks like I need to advance the time on that readout too...it never ends.
