Every car, truck or motorcycle I've ever measured charged at ~14.5V (when operating correctly) measured at the battery terminals. The specifications in the service manuals state 13.5V to 14.5V as the correct range (depending on battery condition) for all modern cars (there could be a few exceptions, like electrics).
I stand corrected. My point though is roughly the same; the charging voltage is supposed to be higher than the battery voltage.
