Why does a CTec read less V than other charges

Question (hopefully not a silly one)
1) When I charge my battery with a 240V charger, and take the V at the terminal, it usually reads 14.+ V
2) When I charge the battery from a 80W sloar using a $70 simple solar regulator from JCar, I read 14+V at the battery terminal
3)When I connect that same panel to the same battery but through a CTec D250s Dual, then I only read 13.6V at terminal

Is this to do with the smarts of the CTek, or is something wrong? Note all the correct lights are on, no error flashings etc.

I would welcome comments on whether I should have the Ctek checked out?
