Simple things to consider, and check - is your alternator belt tight ?
Your battery - yes it's always on a trickle charge, but if it has dead cell(s) it will never hold voltage and produce amperage.
Consider looking at these before considering voltage regulator and/or alternator status.

I think your V readings may be indicating the problem. There are cheap batt cut offs that will wear out. I had one and took it out of the system. If you really need it for security purposes, I would try a new one and it should cost more than $10. Otherwise I would get rid of it. And clean all the grounds.
