13.8 to 14.2 is the normal battery range when the car is running/charging. With the AC and the lights on it should still stay within that range........

I only started using the CTEK 3200? a few months ago. On the extra clamps I bought it has an indicator that shows condition of battery from red, amber to green. On one of my cars it may take up to 3 hrs. for it to get to fully charged up after using car. On Corvette it comes back anywhere from a few minutes to an hour from amber to green.
