The inverter is wired into the 12v system so whenever shore power is plugged in, it will read the voltage that is being pushed in to the batteries from the inverter/charger. With the shore power unplugged, it just reads whatever volts the batteries have. When I think about it, this would probably occur no matter where I picked up the power.
