Back to this- that is WAY too low, it should be above 13.8 volts. Your battery is not being fully charged.
Chris: You not awake yet this morning ??
13.0 is perfectly normal IF he really is reading only the battery after the charger has been unplugged or turned off recently.
And 13.6 is a very common "float" voltage IF the battery is fully charged.
Nah- I was ASSuming :) that the OP meant the battery read that while on shore power- "plugged in all night ... at 13 volts now"-
13 is actually high for a battery at rest- all surface charge.
