It sounds like you did the voltage test wrong. My stock alt. runs 15-16 volts running.

Plus the voltage you posted shows the battery having more volts than the alt. I don't think an alt can charge a battery unless it's producing more voltage than the battery.

And running heavier gauge wire is ALWAYS a good idea when your talking about transfering power heh. I've got 4 gauge wiring from my battery to starter, ground, and soon my alt.
