Then I gave him what my voltage readings were and he told me that my charging system was working perfect.


This intrigued me so I sent an email to the Deka tech line asking about allowable charging voltages for the 24M7 and here is the response:

"Good morning, the operation should be 12.6 - 12.8 , when is charging 13.5 - 14.2"

From this I think you may be overcharging your battery. You may want to check with Deka yourself as I could have misrepresented something.
