Bill, That is FB, but just one additional comment - if you are connecting that supply directly to the battery, you should lower the voltage to about 13.8 volts for a proper float charge - OTOH, if the supply is connected to the battery through a protective diode, your 14.25 volt supply is correct. In other words, the proper voltage depends upon where you connected the supply to the K2.
