So it is perfectly safe to use 13.8V.
It may be "perfectly safe" to use a 13.8V supply for anything normally connected to an automobile's electrical system, but it's not always the case for other devices which aren't specifically designed to be operated from an auto.

Check with the manufacturer first if possible, JohnH.
