Battery charging

[Chickie]

When you are plugged in to ehu, plus solar panel connected, what should the battery reading be, is it possible to cook the battery? Mine is reading 14.1 is that ok? Cheers.

Your fine at that, its highly unlikely that you'd harm your battery.

This is the current reading from my system, as you can see the Max battery volts is up at the 14.5, so you should be fine.

If it's permanently at 14.1v it's too high, some batteries are ok with Gels normally survive.
Most Motorhome chargers are 3 stage, bulk charge to 14.2-14.4v (14.8 for AGM), then an absorption phase at the same voltage for several hours then drop to a float of 13.6-13.8 v.
