Battery or alternator?

Seems a little high to me too, may also need to replace the regulator to get the voltage somewhere between 13.5 and 14.5 while the engine is running. Just thinking, when you first start the engine and check the battery voltage it may be a little higher like that until it fully charges the battery and then it will drop back down to 13-14 volts. I may be wrong tho.....

also depends on if he's using a good quality meter or a cheap one from China

I am using a good fluke meter. I checked it immediately upon firing it up. I will run it longer and do more checks to see if it is consistently high.

Could be voltage regulator acting up or not grounded if readings are to high 14.5 volts ok

After running it a bit it is now reading at 14.4/14.5 while idling.
