Alternator Question

[pete1]

I have one of those direct replacement 130A alternators and have a question, I checked the volts going out of the alternator and it reads 14.59 volts and then I took a reading off the battery and it shows 13.80 volts and stays there. Should I run a wire from the stud of the alternator to the hot side of the battery or is this normal. Thanks
