Default Battery needle position when off?

Can someone tell me or post a picture of where their battery needle is when the truck is off. It's starting halfway when off and then when I turn it on it's going over the h. Don't have a multimeter on me right now to test the battery to see if the alternator is overcharging. Figured I would see if the Gauge is starting too high first

It's the cluster.. Battery and alternator is fine. 12.5/ 14.4V.
When I was testing the voltage i cranked it and the LCD display that hasn't worked in months came back on. Battery gauge is faulty now..

Hmmm... A working battery gauge or a working LCD Display?? I'm guessing the cluster is going to decide for me because apparently they both cant work at the same time. Hahaha

Yes, I just checked for you and the batt gauge should go all the way to the left with key off.
