Cheap (non RMS) AC voltmeters are not very accurate. High AC voltage reading is no concern. All that counts is you have AC going into the rectifier or rectifier/regulator, and DC coming out. Some of those smaller systems have no regulator at all. Larger systems do. Charge your battery and then hook things up. Start the engine and see if the voltage rises. Anywhere from 13 volts to 15.5 volts is fine. If it goes to 16 volts or higher - you can have issues with battery life. Best way to check is with a amp gauge, but a DC volt reading can work well enough.
On the same subject - I have two 9000 watt gas generators with electric start. Both are charging the batteries at 16 volts which is a bit high. Both generators are from Harbor Freight. I don't know if there is problem with quality control in China or they really want battery charge at 16 volts? It is fine for a short time, but not good when done steady.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
