Battery. It's higher when running weak battery that's why you seeing higher voltage then. It's trying to charge that battery.

Even though you bought the battery 11 months ago, sounds as if you got a "bad one". That battery should still be under warranty, return it and get a new one.

Ride safe!

Just had it load tested, and the CCA’s were significantly lower than the posted 270 CCA rating. Time to start looking for a new one. This was a Deca.... Thanks for all the info and suggestions.

Bring that battery to the place you purchased it. They should pro rate it on a new one since it's only 11 months old and get some money back to go towards your new battery purchase.
