So after installing a new VR (SH847), I kept an eye on the voltmeter since installing and noticed that the voltage output was incredibly high, as much as 15.1V at one point in time. Today, I decided to attach two multimeters to the battery terminals at the same time and compare the readings to the gauge cluster - no comparison at all. Immediately after start, the cluster read 13V, while the DMM's hit a stead 14.45ish Volts. During the next minute or so, the voltage on the cluster rose up to ~14.7,14.8V - once again, DMM's read 14.45ish.
In short, only trust the cluster to make sure the VR is still working, but not for an actual reading of battery voltage!
