TECH INFO Direct from MK -- ALL say 13.8 to 14.1V per battery:
(Deka Gel-tech) is correctly charged at (2.35v/cell)14.1v with (2.3v/cell) 13.8v float @ (68°F) 20°C.
.Sonnenschein/Dryfit (German) A200 product is correctly charged (@ 2.4v/cell)14.4v/ and float voltage is (2.3v/cell)13.8v) @ 20°C
Battery Type selector switch for proper charge format for specific battery technologies
And both these companies say you can charge at 14.4v. Because they would lose battery sales if they restrict it to 14.1V only. But if you look a lot deeper, it is at the expense of cycle life. In fact in marine use all of this is well known, and marine chargers generally have a proper 14.1V gel charge setting as do most industrial or large solar chargers.
