13v is good, your alt is fine. every battery is rated at 12v but a fully charged battery is 14.2v if i remember correctly. so pretty much anything under 12v is no bueno.
Whilst its running it should be around 14v.
My basically dead battery reads between 13.8-14.x when the cars running. And it realllllly is a pretty much dead battery.
