I had my attention pulled 16-different ways yesterday and failed to answer a perfectly valid question...
"What about generated heat?"
How many calories does it take to raise battery components by say a Delta T of 30 degrees? The difference between air temp and electrolyte temp...
Less emissions than what it takes to charge a battery by the V/max method. By the time the battery is even thinking of getting too warm the charge is over with. The intermediate level of 14.0 allows the electrolyte to cool down.
Batteries that DO raise temperature excessively HAVE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM. They are either bad or sulfated.
And hysteresis absolutely does enter the picture. V/max charging accentuates this variance. But a fast dip after the protocol finishes and rests will confirm the validity of the process. The process is an algorithm.

Jump to Informal definition - In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm ( i/?æl??r?ð?m/ AL-g?-ri-dh?m) is a self-contained step-by-step set of operations to be performed. Algorithms exist that perform calculation, data processing, and automated reasoning.
If you're camped where fuel is NOT an issue, price is of no object, neighbors are generator noise tolerant, then charging at V/max may be completely idiotic reasoning.
Nothing will EVER replace the ease and compliance of Power Pedestal battery management. But then why not wander across the city and rent a penthouse suite with room service and a wet bar? To each their own...
