is the assumption here that 12.4 volts in a 12volt battery system is not good after 24 hours and warrants concern?
or are we just taking a count of everyone's battery voltage for some other reason?
You should be concerned when your battery starts reading 11 volts or lower at normal 60+ degrees F temps, as that is a sign that it either isn't getting charged enough between uses or it can't hold the charge anymore.
colder temps will lower the voltage read. In freezing temps, reading over 9 volts should still crank over.
14 volts is the general charging voltage of lead acid 12v batteries and will only read at this voltage for a short time once charging has stopped as the surface charge dissipates. It will then settle at it's full charge voltage in the 12v range.
