13.67 volts for an extended period is not going to hurt a thing.
Give it a few days at least.
How long did it hold 14.6 volts?
i've only had the new installs (charger and meter) for a couple charges now, so i'm just getting familiar with the new set-up. during the first charge, the meter was not hooked up yet, but i needed to charge right away. the second charge was done a couple days later, after little discharge. the 75 amp charger went into the 14.6v boost mode for only a short period (15 minutes maybe), and started at around 35 amps. so that seems to indicate a good read of the battery soc by the charger. it then dropped to 0.0amps momentarily as it kicked into the 13.6v absorption mode. it then ramped up to a little over 10 amps, and continued in absorption mode for about 5 hours, during which the amps dropped slowly to 2.4a, at which time it was after 11pm, so i shut it down.
obviously i need to do a deep discharge and start over, but either way i was surprised to see it go below 4 amps. the only charger that has kicked into float mode for me was a xantrex x40 portable, which was factory preset to 1/6 of the max. 40amp charge output; so about 6.6 amps... not having any specs on the pm4b, i hoped it would kick into float at either a preset current, or at least a preset time.
