[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5617145, member: 601690"] Anything over 14.4v runs the risk of shortened battery life at best, outright failure at worst. If you open the valves on a sealed battery, it will never produce full power again. There are plenty of competitors that run even as high as 16.0v on 12v batteries and they work fine. But those are not daily vehicles and they don't care if the batteries fail. They are fine with buying new ones if needed. If you are talking about a daily driver, know that running above 15.0v is likely to damage your batteries over time. Staying under 15.0v is recommended for daily driving. Competitors can easily bump that value up to 16.0v for short competition charges. [/QUOTE]
