Default Battery gauge / meter/ bars

Hey guys just had my battery replaced and now when starting the car, the voltmeter is one bar above center. It has always sat dead center.

My car is on battery number 3 and is less than 5 yrs old. Could this be an indication of an electrical issue somewhere?

Just looking to see if mine is the only one who has a gauge that sits one bar over half when starting and driving the car after its been sitting.

Even with a low battery I have always been dead-center on the volt level. I just replaced mine and it's still dead center.

If it was me I wouldn't be upset with getting another notch on the battery level.
