Hi guys and girls. Have a 99 V70 and my positive terminal to battery is getting extremely hot and only reads 13.11 and at the alternator to starter it reads 13.98.

Could it be your battery has lost a cell? Turn the engine off and test the battery voltage while it is not being charged. If the red wire is getting very hot and is no longer flexible, it may need to be replaced. They are very expensive.
Get several opinions before spending big bucks, or go to a junk yard.
