Default Battery volt gauge?

Whats everyone batt volt gauge read with lights,heater,electric fan and fogs??
Mine will be high when i first get in my jeep then after some time driving it sits slightly above if not on top of the line above the red.
Is it alternator? or what? Where should it belong?

Sounds like it might be. Mine sits around 13 volts.

Mine doesn't seem all that accurate - it reads around 12v when running yet my multimeter shows 14.6v at the battery. I would test at the battery before you assume your alternator is giving problems.
