Vehicle Alternator Charge of House Batteries

I have a 2017 Compass 24TX (MB Sprinter). I know that the "Store" switch must be on for the vehicle alternator to charge the house batteries while the vehicle is running. I was having issues with the charge of my house batteries, so I wired in a USB charger/voltage meter straight to the house batteries, and I placed it in the side of the cabinet near the coach door. From the driver's seat I can see the voltage of the house batteries at anytime. What have observed is that when the vehicle is running and charging the house batteries, it always seems to be charging at 14.1 -14.2 volts and never lower. Does anyone know if the vehicle alternator current goes through the charge controller to regulate the battery charge?
