Cheap (non RMS) AC voltmeters are not very accurate. High AC voltage reading is no concern. All that counts is you have AC going into the rectifier or rectifier/regulator, and DC coming out. Some of those smaller systems have no regulator at all. Larger systems do. Charge your battery and then hook things up. Start the engine and see if the voltage rises. Anywhere from 13 volts to 15.5 volts is fine. If it goes to 16 volts or higher - you can have issues with battery life. Best way to check is with a amp gauge, but a DC volt reading can work well enough.
On the same subject - I have two 9000 watt gas generators with electric start. Both are charging the batteries at 16 volts which is a bit high. Both generators are from Harbor Freight. I don't know if there is problem with quality control in China or they really want battery charge at 16 volts? It is fine for a short time, but not good when done steady.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
