Low voltage at idle

I seem to have a low voltage problem at Idle, it will go down to about 11 on the guage at idle and up to 14 or 15 when rpm's increase. Also the 1993 straight six wants to atall when I put it in reverse (due to low voltage? or another problem)

as far as the voltage you belt might be slipping, mine will do the same thing if it is

Both the belt and the battery are less than a year old do you think it still may be one of them?
