Default Voltage Rising on batteries while running

I am confused.... just got my cart and am trying to break in the batteries by running them d own to 75%but the voltage actually went up after using it today. I hooked up my multimeter to the batteries and the voltage across all six batteries was 38 volts. Took it out and ran it all over my property and when I got home the voltage was at 42 volts. Is this normal?

Change the battery in your multimeter, repeat the testing.
