Hi,
Another NO.
You might be able to use 16.5 volts to charge with the "right" equipment But even then the charge acceptance rate is limited by the chemical reaction. For example, at 85% state of charge the battery can accept only 15 amps--anything more than that merely causes the cells to gas (bubble) excessively.

Gassing is caused by Volts, not Amps.
If Volts are set correctly according to the temperature of the battery, you could supply
UNLIMITED Amps without any gassing. Gassing is wasted energy unless the purpose is to stir the electrolyte of an FLA battery.
