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...

FWIW, LFP Simple Rules I live by - JMO
1) Except for occasional cell re-balancing, no need to fully recharge a LFP on a ‘wet-cell like’ routine basis…
2) Monitor closely the last few percent of recharge to 100% SOC thru to end of cell-balancing activity…
3) Post cell-balancing activity, discontinue Boost charging (avoiding the longer term) - shut-off 12v converter (at breaker) and thereafter run minor 12v loads from the battery (this still supplies active 120v for larger appliances). When off-grid, LFP can be supplemented with harvest…
4) For long term storage, disconnect and store LFP somewhere in the mid-SOC range (60-40’ish % SOC range).
