I'd suggest that the wires and connectors from the alternator to the battery also be given the once-over. The voltage readings sound good, but remember you can read 12.7 volts from a battery through a 10 megohm resistor with a digital multimeter!

Is there a way for you to get the wiring and battery checked under load, preferably for *FREE*?

Good luck.
