Do I need a new alternator?

Hi,
my 2006 maxima idles at 13.9v and hits 14v at 1500rpm rev. I just had the battery replaced recently because it was completely dead. Does it sound like the alternator needs to be replaced or a bad connection somewhere?

also when I idle sometimes the rpms fall below 1000 and the car feels like it's about to stall...

thanks

your alternator is fine, idle is suppose to be around 750rpm.
