Thanks Klaus-- it certainly seems like I have two problems-- the warm battery cable with a voltage drop of 0.5V and low alternator output (I am assuming the post where the big red cable attaches is the best place to measure). This car has 240K km on it (~150K mi), so it is due for brushes.

Do you know if the voltage regulator can be replaced without removing the alternator? The prices for the VR are outrageous-- $136 at FCPgroton. With the battery cable this job will cost $200 USD in parts...
