How hot is hot to you?? Battery is in the trunk with no ventilation and your charging it so yea it's going to be hot.
14.4 volts shouldn't be a problem charging.

The gell cells take a little more voltage than lead acid so 14.4 is spec. Shouldn't be a problem. Lastest and not so greatest.........my alternator seems to be over charging. I have made it 650 miles into an 800 mile leg. I am going to sit for a bit to let it cool off. The battery is an Optima Red Top. What's for dinner tonight?
