Without a load on it, a 12V charger will normally read 16-18V, when
you connect it to a battery the voltage will drop down to whatever
the battery wants it to be at.


Nominally 14-15 VDC.


I doubt any domestic charger could give 15 volts across a good battery,
nor is it desirable.


Ok you doubt it so what? An ensuing argument about a ****ing battery
charger?


No - just a realistic answer. Say 15 volts in a reply to someone who has
to ask this sort of question and they'll be looking for just that.
