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...

It is my understanding that to get an accurate reading of batteries, they should be at rest for several hours first -- that is, not being charged, and no loads for several hours, then take a reading.
THIS.
IF.....you are plugged into shore power OR the gen is running OR you have a "self contained" model and the engine is running......
You are NOT reading the battery but ARE reading the charging voltage.
To be reading the actual battery voltage, you must be sure that all the charging sources are OFF.....and have been off for at least a few minutes.
