Voltage

I am curious to know what voltage should a 900 put out when running and all accessories are off. I installed a VDO voltmeter last year and I seem to put out 13.5 - 14.0 volts when running, however, occassionally, I am barely at 13 (like last night, 12.5 - 13.0 with the lights on and the defogger too). The meter always had a slight rise and fall but always within 1/2 volt. The car is only used twice each week now. There was a 3 week gap where I did not use it and I had to recharge the 2-year-old battery; the water levels were full in the battery by the way. Belts are 2 years old and have the correct amount of flex. I don't know if the calibration is accurate on the voltmeter, but, I used to trust it. Ever since the battery recharge, I've been suspicious. The car is a '90 turbo. Thanks.
