Converter voltage drop
Just replaced lead acid with LFE (200ah) and want to change converter to a lithium specific unit. Current unit WFCO WF-9855. My LFE's suggest a 14.4v bulk charge. Converter's I'm considering all bul...

The charging specs for this LFP are interesting. They say 14.6 max but 14.4 is ok. BMS cut off is 14.8. Big surprise ? Is balancing at 13.6.

Also it says resistance is 30 mOhms at 50% SOC. An AGM spec says IR is 5 mOhms, but does not say when (probably at 25C/77F but ? SOC) that 30 mOhms seems way high where the usual story is that LFPs have low IR?
On shore power you can disconnect the LFP and run on converter for 12v. I still have not got an answer for what you do if your rig has an inverter/charger. Last heard, an inverter/ charger will not operate at 12v unless it it is connected to a battery to run its own systems. Not sure if it still would do 120v pass through.
