Also, the warning "battery" light in the dash went away.

Bit I agree, I would expect to see closer to 14V coming from a healty alternator....
Batt pole tst is ok. However, there is a brewing problem. Before swapping alt, verify your reading with another multimeter, maybe the fault is there. Would not be the first time...

As depicted, the alt two connector pins itself can be loose. Check.
