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'm still confused about float with LFP batteries..Is it better to be in float or bulk the majority of the time?
Off-Grid Garage say's one should set float and bulk the same therefor it is in bulk mode charging when the sun is out vs floating or using battery capacity..
Also if charging at 14.2+ a lower float voltage will be lower stress on the battery. I believe off grid garage is solar charging at 13.8 bulk so dropping the float is less important. Although once charged 13.4 to 13.6 will keep the LFP fully charged. Anything above resting voltage will be fine.
