It's normal for the voltage to be temporarily high for a period immediately after charging.
Vinnie, do you normally do a lot of short journeys or is the car left unused for long periods?

That suggests that your battery was either in need of external charging or it had already passed the point of no return. It happens to us all. Despite taking precautions during the lockdown, I ended up with a flat battery.
