I don't know what those should have, it is several years since I had one.
But I would think that is OK for a petrol engine, and it should produce enough voltage to keep your ECUs happy.

It often dips in revs like it is trying to die but catches itself

From memory, mine did that too. I think that is just delay in the electronics.
Mine never used to die altogether, though, always kept running.
