Wondering the same here but still, thank you for your past assistance😊

Research shows a healthy, fully charged 12V battery should read between 12.6V to 12.8V, confirmed by numerous sources. Why is my car occasionally giving a warning of a possible low charge (with the "engine" off) when I open the boot lid, yet the battery reads out at 12.65 ? Helpful replies...
