I thought it should push whatever amps it does at high voltage right away, like my B&D charger does. I'll have to test my Battery Tender too. I am under the impression it start out in the mid 14's.
Amps: The lower the battery voltage the higher the amps, UNLESS the voltage is so low the charger regulates them to a lower (and safer) setting.. Some smart chargers (The really smart ones) will charge a completely dead battery,, at a very low rate (few amps) till they come up to "Chargable" range.
Volts, however, is what you said you measured. And unless you are pumping in 50 or more amps they tend to stick right close to the battery's voltage. (minimum charge voltage of battery).
