Default Battery problem

The last two mornings my battery would not turn over the starter. It tests good (just over a year old, 7 year battery) and it starts fine all day after it has been jumped the first time. Nothing out of the ordinary except the voltage guage is showing a bit over 14 instead of the regular 13 volts. Any ideas?

You sure it tests okay?? Sounds like a cell gone bad. It can happen even to a new battery.
