Default WTF is wrong with my gauges

Hey everybody. I just boutght a 93 jeep grand cherokee with a 6" lift and 33s. Every thing is working right and it need some beauty work, but it running fine. i notice that once my engine warms up, my battery gauge stays at 14 when im driving, then when i slow down and stop, the gauge drops to almost 9. And same with the oil pressure gauge. when im driving, its pretty consistant between 40 and 60, but then when i slow down and stop it drops to below 40. any suggestions?? (note. It has a brand new alternator on it)

sounds normal to me engine speedds up = more charging and oil flow less rpm = less charging and less oil flow mine does the same thing
