Battery Alarm

[Mutchlers]

I have a 2010 37' Oceanis.  I'm getting a battery alarm on the starter battery when I start the boat a few minutes after taking it off shore power.  The volt meter says I have 12.6 volts and I verified this with a handheld meter at the battery, so it doesn't seem to be low volts or even high volts.  Could my alarm be bad? And how do I test the alarm?

Test your connections all the way from battery to where the monitor is, could be loose or corroded connections

All the connections have been tested.

You need to be over 13.2 volt at l east.

After you start you drain the battery quite bit. 

You need to take a reading while you crank the engine.
