Running Voltage

So I just got Auto Enginuity. Did some simple monitoring until I have more time to play with it. I did notice my battery voltage and FICM voltage were both 13.5V when running. Shouldn't it be higher than that? I just replaced both batteries a couple weeks ago. Does that mean my alternator is do for replacement? Any thoughts?

Any other test I should do with the software before I add a new turbo, injectors etc.?

Thanks

13.2 to 14.1 is the range I've read is normal. The SM says 13 to 15.

Mine runs right around 13.2 to 13.5
