Alternator Output

hi everybody
ihave 300E 1989 my old alternator had 70 amps output after having problems with the low amps i decide to upgrade the alternator to higher amps so i got this alternator from the salvage yard pulled from mercedes 8v engine old car the only thing i had to replaced the cable from the alternator to the battery and the pully on the new alternator changed with mine . after starting the car the output of the new alternator :
battery voltage at rest 12.60
at idle with no load *** 14.35
at idle fully loaded (lights ,defroster,hi blower,radio,) it droped to 12.30 after 5 min
at 2000 rpm fully loaded 13.59 and no drop in voltage .

*** here is my question 14.35 output at idle is that ok or is it too hi is the voltage too hi to burn the electrical computers on the car ?

any help will be appreciated
