It's hard for me to see that as appropriate for Deka Dominators, too. The East Penn factory data say to never charge over 14.1v, IIRC. I use 14.3v and have had excellent results. I would not go higher than that. Maybe Roger has some insight on the reasons for this. Lifeline / Chairman / Concorde flat plate AGMs data say they shouldn't be charged over 14.3v either, if memory serves (but I was working with them a long time ago, mid- to late-1990s). I think they were designed as drop in gel replacements. A long, poorly balanced series string might have one or two batteries go to the voltage you're seeing. Still doesn't sound healthy to me.
