First off....What problem are you having?

If you have a good battery and your alternator is charging 14V at idle, you may have a problem with the voltage regulator.

What is the battery voltage with everything turned off?

If you turn everything on....lights, Max. A/C, etc. what is the charge voltage with the engine idling? At 2000 RPM?
