you have a bad fuse, or bad alternator.

soon, your car may not charge anymore. least this is what happened to me.
about two weeks ago
dumb brake light kept coming on. radior light has been on for a long time by itself. battery lights would come on.

i'm not sure what the voltage is suppose to be at tho, but
on my Apex'i turbo timer, anything below 12.6, it blinks meaning that the voltage is getting low? I assume thats what it means.

You can set that to blink/warn at any voltage you want, I believe 12.6 is just the preset. A fully charged battery in strong working condition will put out about 12.5 volts by itself.
