Need opinions on my battery/alternator.

So my cadillac has a digital gauge that shows charge voltage and it is almost always 14.5-14.8 volts, depending on electrical load. The only time it drops down to 13v is if I drive the car for at least an hour.

Here's the kicker, it starts fine every time. Not necessarily crisp, but it starts reliably. And I can let it sit for a day or two and I still measure 12.6v on the battery.

This is having a significant impact on my fe.
