“I installed a new alternator, but the charging voltage still does not exceed 14 volts. What could be causing this issue?”

“Is it normal for the voltage to drop to 13.3V? Even after driving for a long time, it never goes back up to 14.5V.”

Yes, it's a smart alternator, it will decrease output voltage depending on need and/or vehicle state.

If the battery is charged, it should settle on the lower side of the "charging" voltage or a little below.
