Traditional occasional recharging involved about an hour at plateau when volts would go to 15.5 and more. With amps beyond 14/7v limited to about 5% ah capacity .
For Low Maintenance batteries, beyond 14.2 is avoided as produces too much gas. But battery has to be held at this for a while to fully recharge. Yet curiously modern car regulators are set at 14.6 or so??
It is difficult to obtain succinct info. Or to exactly identify battery type.
13.8/6.9 volts floats a charged battery without adding further charge.
Modern batteries hold charge remarkably but modern cars drain them constantly. Those with little used moderns have more troubles than traditional Seven owners. The modern smart chargers very useful for them.
