Re: O.T. Battery charger
Some chargers need a load on them to reach max output. if you have an old
car radio laying around connect it to the charger and re-take the volt
reading. You want something (load) that needs more then 12 volts, a almost
dead battery will work too.

Re: O.T. Battery charger
I did put a load on it.
reads slightly lower voltage, 11.2 volts

Re: O.T. Battery charger
That sounds cooked. 'Most' cheap chargers I have ever put a meter on
put out up around 17 open ended or with no load. They come down with a
charge load on them.
