Same question here for maintenance free flooded semi-traction calcium 12V as well as starter battery.
I guess your best bet is asking the battery maker (incompetent in my case).
Hi,
You would need to do the research yourself as to the best voltages that suited your batteries.
or just go generic and adjust as needed.
A good starting point would be
Bulk: 14.4
Absorption time: 4 hrs
float 13.6 to 13.8
Keep a good eye on the batteries and check there water levels if they start to use water then reduce the bulk and float voltages by 0.2 volts
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
