Johnny, I have subscribed to Cycle World since Joe Parkhurst started it in 1962 when I was 20. I picked that little tidbit up along the way. It might be blarney, who knows? The Battery Tender Plus charges to 15.6 v and then floats the battery at 14.4 v. As you stated.
The nominal voltage of a cell is 2.2 volts, that times 6 equals 13.2 volts, all batteries have internal losses so the extra 1.2 volts covers that.

You'll need a multimeter, but do check you don't have an underlying problem!
