Default Alternator

Does anyone know the charge rate of alternator at the battery particularly on cougars? This morning alternator warning lamp was flashing on the dash, pulled over and restarted engine and warning light stopped flashing. Later in the afternoon I checked the voltage at the battery and got 14.9-15.1volts while idling and at high revs it was reading 14.7 volts. Generally it should be between 13.8 to 14.8 volts. If any of you has a multimeter, Is it possible to check voltage at the battery on your cougars while idling and on high revs? (around 4000 rpm). Thanks guys.
