Can 13.6v convert all the sulfate back into solution, given days, weeks etc? Do ya have that much time? What about a good stir on occasion?
Is holding 14.4v or more all the way to FULLY charged important? is 4hr enough?
Take a 100 ah batt at 50%, what is the difference in acceptance at 14.4v vs 13.6v, 50%? see question one, is 13.6 enough to FULLY recharge.
According to my bible:

Figure 3-7 shows that acceptance rate of 20 amps at 50% SOC at 13.6v turns into 30 amps at 50% SOC at 14.4v
Mex once tested his WFCO set @ 13.6 and after 3-4 days, sg was still short of original.
This graph I made from a RV.net popup post yrs ago, G27 IIRC, ~60% SoC, note: @60 minutes, the 'smart charger' (xantrax xpower, precursor to Vector then B&D) had averaged almost 20ah and the 35A WFCO 12ah tapering from the start.
to me it said wfco no good for discharged battery.
