Beware of this thought. The brake controller will provide a variable AVERAGE voltage, as described and as desired. But the voltage is provided as a pulse train with constant-height pulses but variable-width pulses. Most inexpensive voltmeters actually measure peak voltage, because it is easy to measure. Some voltmeters, more expensive ones, measure average value or something similar called RMS voltage.
