Wonder if they are concerned about their controller overcharging a charged battery?
Low-end controllers certainly have their quirks but I still don't get it.
It could overcharge when controller is set to push 14.x volt all the time, and there are indeed controllers that do this, but those usually can be adjusted manually to 13.x as well.
Most cheap controllers have 2 fixed voltage points, bringing the voltage to 14.x and then dropping to 13.x either immediately or after a fixed time. It won't overcharge... until it poops out and starts pumping 17.x all the time. Could happen to any controller, though.
