    I would check for corrosion at the fuse box and that the battery connections are tight.

    Do you have a separate multimeter to measure the voltage? You might have a bad regulator or a failed diode in the rectifier circuitry, either one could be checked with a multimeter.

    Especially if both gauges show the same anomaly in the electrical circuit should you be concerned. I definitely would be searching for the problem before it gets worse or spreads.
