Default New battery voltage question

I bought a new 12V battery for the riding lawnmower.
Put it on the charger for a day and the voltage was 13.8 while on the
charger Removed from the charger and the voltage drops to 12.72.
The battery cables were disconnected.
Is this OK for a new battery?
Thanks



Actually, it's perfect for a new battery. Exactly what is supposed to
happen.
