12v batteries reading 14.18v
Yep, it's me, back with another question :-). I double checked the voltage with a second voltmeter, and checked the first voltmeter on another battery. It seems that the 14.18v is reasonably accura...

Depending on the converter.. My Progressive Dynamics Wizard controlled unit every so often does a controlled "overcharge" and that looks like what you are seeing. This serves several functions.. It stirs things up a bit so you do not end up with very weak acid at the top and very strong at the bottom (Stratification is defeated) knocks a bit of sulfate off the plates (Desulfication) and equalizes charge across the cells.
However if it continues for long long periods of time. You have a problem. Or may have. I understand there is at least one brand that calls for that kind of voltage when charging... NO, sorry do not recall which.
