I have read it this morning when truck is on and then off.
Your reading device must be faulty.

Best to check battery after sitting at least overnight prior to first start of the day. Should read about 12.6.

I'm not a big fan of microprocessor chargers, they stink at charging/testing with a whole litany of whiney fault codes for not doing some work. I use a regular ol Schumacher charger with a beefy transformer between the power cord and amps out, so what if it's got a bad cell attitude.
