I took a trip yesterday down near San Diego, it was twofold. One was to replace my free Trojan T-1275 that was a golf cart reject already when I got it with a pig of a 105# UPS 145ah AGM battery from ...

That 13.5v maximum is certainly in a different ball park.
What kind of chargers do these telecom batteries have attached to them?
What is the expected service, like a power outage, What then is the individual load on each battery, and for how long. How many of these do they stuff on the mountain top?
I guess that if they say it takes a full week to charge at 13.5v, they are not expecting frequent power outages.
Anyway for 125$, I think I'd just beat the snot out of the battery using it as a Dang well pleased for maximum convenience. Hard to learn anything if it is treated like a porcelain baby.
I wonder if you did take it to 50%, or less, how long it would max out the Megawatt at 30 amps when set to 13.5v before hooking it up.
I say cycle it to 50%, set the Megawatt to 14.4v and let er rip. If the sides bulge out alarmingly or you hear/smell the vent open, then the adamantly spouted 13.5v maximum perhaps has more merit.
