...this is done ALL THE TIME with automotive and RV/Trailer batteries.

Gel cell and lead acid ain't the same - and you don't get gel cell in cars
as a rule.

SLA - sealed lead acid - which use a gel as the electrolyte - should be
charged with a maximum voltage of 13.8. They can't gas in the same way as
a liquid electrolyte type can, so mustn't be overcharged.
