The voltage of a lead acid cell varies between 1.93 volts when flat and 
2.11 volts when fully charged.

It can rise to 2.33 volts while on charge.

This translates to the voltage at the lighter socket being anywhere 
between 11.8 and 14.4 Volts. When the engine is running, it normally 
will be about 14.4 volts.

13.2 volts is a safe voltage to hold the battery at while on float 
charge. (The battery is being used as a backup supply in case of mains 
failure.)

On occasion, 15 Volt or slightly more can be used ro equalise the charge 
between the cells, but this will cause some of the water in the 
electrolyte to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
