My dealer told me the high voltage was ok. (edited)
I see well into 14 Volts regularly, and 14.8 sounds familiar. Again, I saw these readings within the first year or so of ownership, so I wouldn't suspect the battery. Also, whenever the car will be off for more than a week, I keep it on a battery maintainer. At my last dealer visit a few months ago, I expressed concern as to the battery's age, and they said it's ok.
By the way, the lowest I've seen, and this happens regularly when turning on (but before the motor is actually running) after a long off period is in the mid to high 11s.
