Subject:voltage over battery: 12.5-13.1

Hey guys,
I've been having some dying battery issues lately.  Anyways, I replaced my
battery under my autozone warranty.  At an idle, with no headlights or
heaters or anything on, I'm reading something like 13.1V over the
termainals.  Turn on some headlights, the heater fan, and maybe the rear
windshield defroster, and its closer to 12.5V or 12.6V.  Are these numbers
about right?  The alternator's new (rebuilt) as well, as of just before
christmas.

thanks,
wes
