Dumb question here sorry,

How many volts should the alternator put out?

I get 13.8 to 14.1

I have no starting issues just want to know.

13.8 to 14.1 volts is fine.   The voltage output will change with the  temperature of the battery.   The colder the battery the higher the voltage.

thank you

Typical normal range can be as low as 13.2 VDC to as high as 14.8 VDC. Typically most will see close to 14 volts. The battery temp sensor will change the charge voltage also bad batteries with shorted plates will produce more heat so the charge voltage typically is lower.
