I would suggest that is quite normal.
The relay is operating when it sees that the S/B voltage is at the switching voltage. The voltage from the S/B will vary with temperature as well as charge rate and I would expect the relay to operate at somewhere between 13-14 volts. Also remember that the charge voltage increases with a reduction in temperature (the opposite to what a lot of people expect!);
