I guess the tech (from a smaller battery company that makes this particular AGM) got spun, I know I most carefully wrote down what he said. ("But it was the best of butter!")

These guys did say "bulk at 13.5 to 14.4 V Maximum 10 Amps, acceptance at 14.4V" so yes, they do spec bulk at 14.4--he just said it could take higher amperage during the bulk phase if it was held down to 13.6V, with no other loss.

One thing I noticed in the pages of instructions for the SolarBoost with remote, was that there was no simple "Wet-AGM-Gel" selection, everything has to be programmed manually. Must be designed "for professional installation only".< G >
