For the life of me, I know of no "newer" automotive alternator voltage regulator that regulates at 14.4V nor slumps to 13.2 volts. Say a person starts out from home with fully charged AGM batteries and embarks on a three day marathon 12-hour day drive. Reconcile that with AGM battery manufacturer's "recommendations". A nice hot 36-hours spent at 14.0 volts. Hmmmmm...
Outstanding observation that is obvious.
RV batteries and good old engine starting batteries have suffered for years from alternator voltages that are all over the map .... and many of those batteries last for years.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself (...or something like that).
