Mine gets to 14v + a lot, whenever I do the short drives.
Did a long drive yesterday, where it started at 14+ and ended up around 12-13 after almost 45 min of driving.
I don't know much about the desulfation process, or if it's even effective, but some folks that work in the industry recommended that I leave my car hooked up to a battery tender with a "desulfator" for multiple days at a time.
Let's see what happens this summer, my battery is 7-8 years old. It probably needs to be replaced anyway.
Have not really had any slow cranks in the last several months, but at the first hint of trouble, I'll replace the battery.
