House Battery Voltage Question

I recently installed a house battery voltmeter in our 2018 Vegas 25.3. (The 4 little red dots just didn't give me much) When I plugged into shore power or started the Generator I would see 13.6V. Now that I am back home and plugged into the house, the battery voltage started out at 13.6 as it did on the road, but after a day or so (Still plugged in), it has gone down to 13.1V.
2 questions:
1) Is this the converter falling back to a maintenance voltage automatically?

2) Has anyone else noticed this?


p.s. Have two VMax Tank 125 AH house batteries that are a few months old.


Thanks in advance for all your collective wisdom and experience.

Yes it is maintenance mode and everyone should notice that.

It is how it’s supposed to be.

Sounds perfect. Go 1 extra step and verify the chassis batteries are being charged also.

Thanks Pillbox,
Checked the chassis battery voltage and it was also at 13.1 using a multi meter.
