Usually ~12.8V off, ~14.4V running.

Most alts will put out 13.8 to 14.2 volts when running...Give or take...

Have your battery checked with a load tester..... This will show you if there is a cell going bad....

I was told that it's not the volts your battery reads it's the CCA that starts your car. Cold Cranking Amps. Is this right? maybe someone can chime in.
