As you all know, anything more than clipping the auto charger onto a battery is well above my pay grade, so I have some questions. For the regular charge before the conditioning charge, the Lifelin...

My wet cells would boiling fluids big time at that VOLTAGE and CURRENT. I'm betting your AGM's will still be venting Hydrogen Gas during this process. Definitely would keep away from open flames, sparks, and red hot elements... My wet cells will start bubbling even at 13.6VDC in the NORMAl MODE. When it drops down to 13.2VDC STORAGE MODE then the bubbling stops. If i was running 14.3VDC verses 13.6VDC in the NORMAL FLOAT MODE it would be raining battery fluids haha...
In my PD9260C charging uses the same 14.4VDC for the EQUALIZE MODE EVERY 21
HOURS FOR A PERIOD OF 15 MINUTES. This is the highest DC VOLTAGE I will see on this charger. 15.7VDC at high currents would scare me as well even for a short period of time...
I am old enough to remember the days where the automotive shops would put 50VDC on a battery with 200AMPS of DC CURRENT available to be used. This was their quick two hour charge. They also had signs around that they would be not be responsible for replacing the battery if the top blows off... I saw go over the shop roof one time... People would be lined up waiting to be next haha...
