you should still get 14v+ when connected across the battery also,this will still verify if your alternator is ok

hi there thanks for the reply , i drove it to the auto shop and the van was switched off he put the meter on the battery terminals not the alternater , please excuse my lack of knowledge on mechanics im a plasterer

if you only have 13 volts coming out of the alternator when the motor is running suspect the alternator/wiring is at fault,look for 14v+ and this should be a better output
