LOW CHARGING ISSUE SOLVED !

The culprit turned out to be the positive battery terminal clamp/connector.
internal corrosion (not visible) was causing to much resistance to allow all the proper charging current to get through.

a voltage drop test will revel the issue or simply place your hand on the terminal after the engine has been running awhile and feel how hot it is compared to the negative side.

solution is to replace the battery terminal clamp & clean all the wires.
