His recommendations seem designed for those with a low ratio of solar W to battery Ah.
For my system, (700W solar, 440Ah batts) I would be concerned about setting the float V as high as absorb V.
We do raise our solar charger's float V when actively boondocking, but when not using much current I drop it down to 13.2V. Otherwise I'd just be boiling off water without increasing the charge.
Otherwise, yes, the batteries get hammered at least once a day with the absorb setpoint of 14.9V, temperature compensated, and absorb doesn't stop until the current drops to about 0.6% of Ah capacity. That's full as far as I can tell. And when in storage with full sun, it takes less than 5 min. The rest of the day is float.
After a stretch of solar undercharging, I equalize at 16V for 1-2hrs.
Have heard concerns elsewhere that these higher absorb voltages like 14.8-14.9V might be hard on trailer electronics. Especially as temperature compensation can raise them well into the 15's. But so far, all is working as it should ...
