For a Constant Voltage charger, apply regulated voltage at approximately 13.8
to 16 volts and should be based on the manufacturer's recommendations and
temperature.
A 10 Amps Constant Voltage charger is suitable for most simple recharging or
charging applications.
More expensive three-stage microprocessor controlled chargers are also
available that will automatically provide bulk, absorption and float charging. A
four-stage charger will provide an equalizing charge in addition to the bulk,
absorption and float charging.
An excellent automatic Constant Voltage battery charger is a 15-volt regulated
power supply adjusted to the manufacturer's recommendations or, if not
available, refers to voltage ranges below which were based on the electrolyte
temperature at 70° F (21.1° C).
NOTE:
If left unattended, cheap, unregulated trickle or manual battery chargers can
overcharge your battery because they can decompose the water out of the
electrolyte.
Avoid using fast, high rate, or boost chargers on any battery that is sulfated or
deeply discharged. The electrolyte should NEVER bubble violently while
recharging because high currents only create heat and excess explosive
gasses.

To compensate for electrolyte temperature, which has a negative
temperature compensation coefficient, adjust the charging voltage
.0028 (2.8 millivolts) to .0033 (3.3 millivolts) volts per cell per
degree F.
For example, if the temperature is 30° F (-1.1° C), then increase
the charging voltage to 15.19 volts for a wet low maintenance
battery.
If 100° F (43.3° C), then decrease the charging voltage to 13.81
volts.
