Volt Reading On Dic With Engine Not Running

When I turn the car to accessory with with engine off and dic set to battery volts I will get a reading as high as 13.2 right after turning the car off from just driving it. The car is not a daily driver but does get used about 3 days a week most of the year weather permitting. When not in use it is on a battery minder. While driving the car on initial startup it reads 15.0 and settles down to about 14.5 after about 20 minutes. Does this sound normal. Thanks for your help George.

Sounds a tad higher than average, George, but probably ok. You might want to verify with a voltmeter to see if you get similar readings. The DIC isn't the last word in accuracy.

Sounds a little high. Mine goes to 14.2 for a couple minutes after startup, but settles about 13.3 or so. With engine off, I read about 12.5 (varies a little)
