Help with what exactly ?
The prevailing opinion so far seems to be that a higher bulk charging voltage won't be a problem......but ALL of the responses are mostly guess work.....since so far nobody seems to have exactly the LEDs and converter that you are asking about.
And consider this: Just because a converter is CAPABLE of 14.8 volts, it may never actually do that. Even if it does, it will be ONLY after the batteries are mostly discharged and the AC power is reconnected and the converter is active again. If you don't run your batteries very flat, there won't be a problem. If you connect the AC with the lights OFF, there won't be a problem. If the LEDs are good to 15 V there won't be a problem.
The odds are overwhelming that there WON'T BE A PROBLEM.
I don't know what more you expect to get out of continuing this discussion.
