You're right Cam, I stand corrected. The "warm" and "cold" voltages are slightly higher for the flooded batteries than the AGMs. At "hot" temp settings the charging voltage is the same.

These figures from our Xantrex/Statpower charger manual (Truecharge 20):

Absorption voltage Hot Warm Cold
Flooded 14.0 14.4 14.8 VDC
Gel 13.8 14.2 14.6 VDC
AGM 14.0 14.3 14.6 VDC
Float voltage at no load Hot Warm Cold
Flooded 13.1 13.5 13.9 VDC
Gel 13.4 13.8 14.2 VDC
AGM 13.1 13.4 13.7 VDC
