So then would a battery charger putting out something like 14 volts (for 12v agm battey) or say 8 volts (for 6v agm battery) cause problems???

I've found that relatively new battery chargers tend to put out as high as 16v (on 12v setting) and as high as 9v on 6v setting. I currently have a rather NEW so-called trickle charger (12v only) that plugs into cigarette liter and it puts out a little over 16 volts.
