Maybe for a few minutes, if you take it off the charger and run to
the plane and immediately install it and turn it on. I've never
seen more than 14.8 volts with a more normal installation.

If you read your manuals, avionics have max voltages of 16 or 16.5
volts, so it doesn't seem to be an issue.
