nah she's fine.

when the car is on, it will run at about 13-14 volts because the battery is charging. of you turn the car on, but don't have the motor running, look at the voltmeter then. thats your true batter level :)

guys, correct me if i'm wrong (which i most probably am)

alternators can be expensive and a PITA to replace so I would get a multimeter onto the battery before relying on the dodgy in car volt meter.
