[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8460230, member: 614752"] I charge at 14.4 with an external regulator just to properly maintain my batteries. I run amps with over-built and regulated power supply so they will make rated power at any real-world battery voltage and won't blow themselves up with fluctuations in input voltage. Charging 1V higher won't save you if you don't have adequate battery bank.... I'd do it for the sake of good battery maintenance, but if you're having trouble with feeding that amp regulating 1V higher isn't going to replace a few more of those big batteries or another alternator.
