Does the neg terminal get hot too?
the current flow is the same, so if only one gets hot there's
an unwanted resistance there, either between the cable end and the battery,
or the wire and the crimp. Did you wire brush the battery and terminal ends?
I'd see a starter generator shop should you need to replace or repair the terminal end.

Where did you put the test leads when testing the battery?
Make sure they're on the battery and not on the cable ends.

13.9 sounds a bit low, but your meter may be off. see if another car battery reads 12.6
14.5 is way too high and lots of bulbs would be running too bright and burning out.
