Do I need to "top off" the battery if it is fully charged?

I keep my batteries on a BatteryMinder Plus. I recently got a portable solar panel that puts out about 14 volts in full sun. If I hook the panel to a fully charged battery just before a camping trip...

The Megawatt charged for 9 hours the other day and that was just bringing the bank up from 12.5v. That would be a 4 gallon tank of gas on the Champ. However it would have the power to run both the mega and the trailers converter up to 13.6v for 91a. That should help some.

Bringing the grp 27 home...no problem. Even one 8-D was doable. Once the three big boys are mounted, I hope to never touch them again.
