It is generally accepted to charge at a higher current until 2.3v per cell
is reached, or 13.8v, then taper back the current until 2.4v per cell is
reached, or 14.4v. At this time a 'float' charge is allowed at 2.3v or back
to the 13.8 volts. At no time does a 'Real' charging system go over the 14.4
volt limit. I see mine up at about 15.5 often, and I am concerned about
damage to radios. As one poster mentioned, keeping my running lights on
holds the float voltage to about 14.5, and that is acceptable to me.
It's not a regulator - it's a rectifier.
What do you mean "hard" on batteries?
