12.9 sounds a little low, though if i'm not mistaken, i believe newer vehicles turn the alternator on/off depending on engine loading/electrical demand to satisfy some sort of emissions requirements.

i know my '14 occasionally dips at sporadic times to 13v. though my scangauge ii is down by the shifter, so hard to get anything more than a glance at it from time to time.
