Dash voltmeter seems to be reading high?
Just took delivery of 2004 350 z auto, very low mileage -24k miles and car is pristine, only "issue" is that the voltmeter on the pod reads about 15 volts idling or at various speed levels. A voltmeter across the battery terminal agrees with the above reading. What should the voltage read assuming a normally charged battery?. Car starts immediately and headlights are not dim/yellow.

Can cooler weather affect voltage in any way? I ask because my car has always been just a tick past 14, now in the past few days when I first start up it has been higher, around 15.5, then as the car warms up it drops down to about 2 needle widths above 14.
It's also making the fans on my amp spin like crazy when I first start up.
