Thanks for posting Dan!
I too use a similar charger/maintainer and have been very satisfied with it, BUT there is one problem with any "open loop" device, there is not complete feedback to tell the charger what is happening on the battery end. Dan's analysis makes sense to me, where the electrolyte is boiled off without the "knowledge" of the charger.
To complete the automatic charger/maintainer installation, a battery condition monitor should be added, in particular a temperature monitor, which would shut down the charger if need be.
The brand of battery, 6TL, Walmart, Advance etc is not the problem here as I see it.
