Very wrong. Float (trickle) charging for lead-acid and AGM deep cycle batteries should be 13.2 - 13.4 volts. At least that is what the two largest converter manufacturers (WFCO and Pressive Dynamics) set it at.
14.4 is boost and equalizing charging to quickly get the batteries up to 80%
13.4 to 13.8 is normal charging to get batteries from 80 to 100%
Float or trickle charging a fully charged battery is at 13.2 to 13.4 volts.
