Lifepo4 float setting?
I have not had to deal with a float setting so far with PWM controllers but I have a Victron 75/15 coming tomorrow and reading up on the settings,it is confusing especially the float setting..Some say...

I do not let the cheap PWM controllers charge above 13.9 volts,if it is a good day of sunshine I have just disconnected the panel via a anderson connection but usually,I just lower the boost to 13.5 or so..
The main reason for my controller upgrade so I don't have to monitor it all the time..That's just me and my opinion on $15-$25 dollar controllers..Im sure they work just fine charging to 14.4 but I personally don't trust them to do that,unattended.:B
I have had LFP for a year now and learned a lot but there is a lot I am not sure of yet..
When the end user becomes the manual controller of the charging system instead of just putting in a proper set and forget system sooner or later there will be a time you'll get side tracked with something else and with lfp it doesn't take much time.
Many of folks have gone that route and thought it won't happen till it did.
I beat many future lfp batteries being put into service will die from the end user hen pecking and not "longevity". ;)
