Default Volt Gauge=Weird Readings?

Well I have a autometer volt gauge in my car. For the last couple of days its been giving me weird readings and are starting to concern me. While I drive if I don't accelerate or im at idle the gauge reads 13.9 but as soon as I accelerate it goes down to 12.4. It never use to do that. And at night when all accesories are on it never drops? Why? Should I be concerned? Is it trying to tell me something? Any help is appreciated.

Did you hook up a volt meter to the battery and rev the engine? See what the voltage is at idle and higher rpms? Maybe its just the gauge? Turn on all the accessories and see what the voltage is?

No its hooked up to my electrical signal. Not straight to battery. At night when everything is on it stays at 13.9. With all accesories on. Its weird. Could it be my battery or could it be that I installed my foglights to a always hot connector? Cuz it did this right after the fogs.
