Well..
If you are planning to run your motor for only a short period (ex. as an opening device for a heavy box) then it should be ok.
If your plan is to run it for long periods (ex. in a car) then maybe you should consider something to drop the voltage a little bit.
The safety of running it overvoltage depends on the size of the motor..
This is a matter for your own judgement.
If the motor is large compared to the battery then it will probably discharge the battery to a safer level..
This is also your own decision.
I am not that experienced when it comes to voltages above 12 volts so I would definitely recommend that you calculate the wattage by multiplying voltage by amperage and then compare this to the maximum wattage specified for the motor.
