Probably not, but it does that when the battery has gone belly up and needs to be replaced.

Thank You for reply. Battery less than 2 years. Don’t let it go more than 2 days off of Ctek. Bad Ctek?

If 14.95 is the output, I agree it’s higher than it should be. Faulty components in the alternator can cause that. Faulty components in the alternator can also cause a parasitic draw when the car is parked and sitting. That might explain a dead battery.

No, give it a fast charge With an actual battery charger for an hour. That should do it.
