Floating vs Storage Voltage Question
Moved this from another thread to open the topic generally. Question was if PD converters with the 13.2 storage voltage were compatible with floating voltage specs at 13.5 and above. ---------------...

Can you disconnect the BMS in a "drop-in" Li batt? If not and they are in storage at say 60% SOC, do they give you a time limit before they are so low they must be recharged? Would the BMS activate the low voltage? What happens after that?
One thing going for SiO2 is no BMS IMO. I would be worried a BMS would develop a fault of some sort. That's just me though.
I have changed my routine with the Wet 6s so now I will have the wires off between trips if that will be more than a week. We use the C at least once a month all year but not every week, so no actual storage ever happens.
I have decided to treat the SiO2s as a type of AGM for floating rules. The TC is used more often than the C so going over a month with no usage never happens. That means they too will be disconnected between trips. Both rigs will be on stick house shore power between trips and running on converter for 12v.
We sometimes have power failures for the stick house when a tree falls on a power line somewhere, so the RVs are available if the power failure lasts too long. That means turning the 12v back on battery in the dark, so a flashlight would be needed for that.
