Nope. Why would you need to stay at 14 volts? Mine stays at 14.6 while driving and drops to 12 something I think when I turn it off and the cap sucks it

Get a cap, do a big three if you can afford it.

i charge all 4 of my bats 24/7 if im not in my car. Be sure its a 1-2 amp trickle charge. If they are yellow / red top acid batteries they have different procedures.
