It should (at least a good 3 stage charger should) start in bulk charging at the max amps raising the voltage to 14.4V. Then hold the voltage in absorb charging tapering the amps down until it enter float charging with both the voltage and amps tapering down to the float mode with about 13.6V and very low amps. Be sure you are measuring at the battery terminals.

I'd keep a log of V, A and time for future reference.
