What do you do when the battery gets hit with your 14 PLUS VDC and wants to draw around 20AMPS of DC current. There may not be that much DC current available in your 7-way connector wiring.
I have found Unless you can provide 14.4VDC at around 15-20AMPS of DC Current when charging a 50% discharged state 12VDC deep cycle battery it will take many many hours to recharge the battery. If you have the higher DC current available to use when you apply 14.4VDC it will then charge your deep cycle battery from a 50% charge state to a 90% charge state in three hours time.
This is deep cycle battery science at play.
