I'll second that. Unless you know that perhaps a charger may have been applied with no battery to hold the V down to 12V or maybe the battery electrically opened internally such that the V went north of 14V (as has been mentioned) I'd hate to see the $ go to e CCM you don't need.

In my experience (and that of many others on here) a float charger of ~200ma will not damage a battery but only offset the car's draw plus battery internal current leakage.
