14.7 regulator is fine if you have a maintenance free sealed calcium battery. If you have a battery that can be topped up you will need to check the electrolite level on a regular basis and top it up. 14.7 will slowly boil it off.

All those measurements you come with, where are they taken? Battery or Alternator?

Before new cables installed i only had around 13.7 volt on battery but at least 14.2 V on Alternator - now its the same both places.
