What did it show before? Should be no more than 14.8 using a DVM at battery terminals
Have both the battery and the alternator tested.
If you want to see if the alt is discharging it,
key off
disc neg batt terminal. remove wires at alt, keeping them away from metal. Reconnect neg at battery and touch wires to their posts one at a time.
If sparks at all suspect alt.
