Your running voltage is low ... should be 13.8 to 14.6. Check your meter by checking voltage on any battery, clock, flashlight ect.

A good very very basic "how to check your alternator voltage" video. Many folks do better with pics than words.

A basic digital meter can be had from our favorite auction site for $5 to $10. Less if you are lucky and patient. Two or three are nice to have.
