You really do want to reduce it some if possible. I would leave it at your lower voltage that you got. At 58.8V, the battery has to be perfectly balanced to not over-charge some cells since max cell voltage is 4.2 Volts. Otherwise, you are relying on your BMS to limit the charge and you won't get a proper charge. You really want to have the charger taper down the current at the final voltage rather than have it shut off abruptly.
