I agree and was gonna post that until I got to your post. Same thing for some of the chargers we use in our systems integration. They read 13 -13.5 vdc.

So are you saying that the charger should be putting out more or less than 12 volts?

mmm, more. how could it possibly charge up if it never reached 12 or more?should be showing around 13-13.7 approx. just like an alternator
