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...

Might not matter much to some, but question was raised what setting to use. Mystery remains why Bogart says 2% while Victron says maybe 5% for tail current for LFP
OP says LFP advice is all over the map.
the question was about the float setting, man did we take a tri around the world in this thread haha
Well, regarding frustration, ‘confusion’ can sometimes be overrated - From the Victron Manual:
“03. Tail current:
Once the charge current has dropped to less than the set tail current (expressed)…”
Remark:
“Some battery chargers stop charging when the current drops below a set threshold. The tail current must be set higher than this threshold.
Default Range Step size
4 % 0.5 – 10 % 0.1%…..”
But AGAIN, this is why my previous remarks regarding meter validation (as a simulation), and where ACTUAL LFP Ownership (rather than confusing serial pontifications) can often make a solid difference…
