As far as 16 volts go...that is to high and will eventually damage the battery. Normally, you'll see diminished life out of a battery that is being over charged. And bulbs will burn out prematurely. See it a lot, customer comes in after changing the battery in his vehicle two or three times within a few years, and can't understand why. Check charging system and it's over charging. He says, "but the charging light on the dash never came on". It won't...since it let's you know when it's not charging, but could care less if it is over charging.
Me, if l was seeing 16 volts...regulators bad...and l'd be changing the alternator.

I agree, working correctly is as pictured in the graph I posted (within a few tenths of a volt margin)
