When the battery maker for these (expensive) items says 14.6 to charge, they don't mean 14. Ignore them at your peril.
However LI don't "like" to be taken to 100% state of charge. Apparently it reduces the (large) lifespan.
Uh..no
Just spoke with my retailer who has been involved with electrical vehicles and Lifepo4 for many years to verify my understanding before posting it.
First my cells are rated at 3000 cycles from 100% to 20%SOC.
That cycle count uses 14.6v as the top charge.
Now let’s say I’d like to increase my cycles beyond the 3000.
Then I can/should use 14.0v/14.1v/13.9v or an amount less than 14.6v as the top charge voltage.
Additionally I can/should discharge to an amount around 30%SOC.
There is no “Peril” there is no “don’t “”like””.
Not sure what this has to do with B to B, but I have grown weary of erroneous statements and wanted to straighten this out.
