Let the batteries tell you how they are doing... SG readings, tiny bubbles while charging, etc. Some batts need several hours at 15+v while others do well at 14.6v. And pay close attention to battery temperature. You may have to improve battery compartment ventilation for the summer months, even at 14.4v, to avoid excessive gassing.
I have the remote temperature sensor and while I clamp the temp compensation cold side (no compensation below 70 degrees F when it would begin to raise the setpoint), it does compensate as temperatures rise above 70 degrees F and reduces the voltage setpoint. I think that this minimizes any excessive gassing. I have to add a bit of water in the spring, but it doesn't seem out of the ordinary.
