LiFePo4 lithium battery charging questions
TL DR – I have some questions related to charging 12V LiFePo4 lithium batteries: *How to best use my solar to charge batteries? *Assuming I usually keep the lithium batteries at a partial SOC, what ...

ya he also mentiond that people thing LFP is more finiky than it actual is with the capacity usage and charging. I learned about the float, and to set it for your normal charge voltage as most people don't let there LFP equalize long enough to actavate the cell balancing. never thought that would be an issue.
When you say "most people don't let their LFP equalize long enough to activate cell balancing", what you do mean exactly? As 3tons mentioned, lifep4's do not require equalizing. Are you saying there's a specific voltage necessary to activate cell balancing? And/or a specific amount of time is necessary to accomplish cell balancing?
