Measure the voltage with the car off. Measure the voltage with the car running. Measure the voltage with the car running and lots of accessories on such as high beams, blower, radio, etc. Each time the voltage should increase.

13.5 is standard RUNNING voltage. If you see that going up and down there is problems. Just need to be above 13 to charge the battery. 13.5 is dead on.
