When I got back my hardware store meter said 13. Sorry I don't have a 
quality meter. But I did throw away the really bad meter I had.
  I have 3 more batteries being maintained like the example and I will 
report in December. One flooded car battery is on a 1562A maintainer. The 
other pair of batteries are in parallel are being charged with the cheaper 
Schumacher 1.5a. One is a Delco flooded and the other is a Optima Sealed. 
These two batteries have been on that maintainer since May and it cycles 
between charge and off (or very low amps) when I happen to notice it. No 
more details other than when ever I check the voltage on this pair its 13v. 
Don't know it  this maintainer has never cycled off, or has the overload 
capability. But, neither of those 2 batteries have ever been discharged 
like the battery on the 1562.
