Mine are the EGC2, which translates to East Penn/Deka GC15 - that's 230ah vs. 215ah w/ the plain GC2. Specs are as follows:The spec sheet for my GC2s says to charge them in the absorption phase at 7.65V. That's 15.3V for the bank. The bank floats at 13.4V. I've been using this bank in my RV with those settings for 6 1/2 years with good results.
At 12V:
Max Charge Current = 30% or less of Ah capacity (20 hour)
Absorption Voltage = 14.4V - 14.7V
Absorption End Point = Current change over 1 hour period of less than 0.1A
Max Absorption Time = 12 Hours
Float Voltage = 13.8V - 14.1V
Float End Time = No Limit
Equalization = 15.0V to 15.3V
Equalization End Point = Current change over 1 hour period of less than 0.1A
Max Equalization Time = 12 Hours
Temp Compensation = -.018V for every degree °C rise above 25C

Duracell GC2 charging specs - Cruisers & Sailing Forums
I'm trying to figure out the charging specs since I'm replacing my AGM batteries with these and of course Duracell and Deka's website does'nt give this precious information. I'm sure I saw a post here
