C/5 - C/30 ? [RE-wrenches]

Should we be charging L-16s and golf cart batteries at higher rates than previously recommended. The owner of a photovoltaic house I used to live in ramped his L-16 bank up to 30 volts each night. The bank was old and stiff, but he seemed to get good results. The bank was being charged at around C/9.
So the question is, "does the fast charge rate apply only to heavy duty industrial batteries, or does it also apply L-16s and T-105s?" Also, should we bring the batteries to equalize level voltages for short times, on a weekly basis?
Thanks,
Drake
