13.5V nomial is fine. Considering your car is on, things are taking up some voltage, if it reads 13.5V when you have the stereo cranked, you are doing fine.

OR the other BIG 3

Upgrade wiring..

Atleast 4 AWG high quality wire and connectors..

Battery to chassis ground, alternator to battery, engine to chassis ground.

Makes a bigger difference than you think.
