In my world, there is a problem.
Well in the mechanic world, 14.2 is alternator voltage. 12.5 (or whatever it was) is nominal battery voltage. Alternator and starter can't run at the same time, so you use nominal battery voltage as the base. 1.5V drop while cranking.... acceptable.

Edit: coop beat me
