Usually a decent charge rate will be above 14v but so long as its 13v and above it will theoretically charge the battery,problem is if you make short journeys the battery never gets time to charge back up after being depleted after cranking the engine.

I'd test the alternator directly,iirc you can remove the block connector and see what voltage it is giving out.
