More than likely your reading was a surface charge you need to flash it of... In my world I would crank the engine a few times as soon as the engine fired off each time shut it off before the charging system has a chance to recover... Or put a load on the battery such truing the headlights on for a Minute.
In your case crank the engine a few times and immediately shut it down. Record the lowest voltage while cranking and the voltage once you turn the engine off...

Once in a blue moon you will run into what I call a super cell it caries a high surface charge and will not take a charge it screws up the electronics of the charging system...
You have not reported enough info go test some more...
