alternator swap
It always depends on the voltmeter used.
Not all voltmeters are created equal. Some are more
acurate than others.
If you are using a 300$ Fluke voltmeter, then your
reading will be more accurate than if you are using a
29$ canadian tire voltmeter.
Don't worry about milivolts differences on a car.
Cheers.
