More on LFP Charging
Some "sales" statements here, but also some possibly good info of interest. One thing is they found longest life (most cycles) was to charge at 14.4v but at lower amps at 0.3C. Some LFP owners o...

Agreed…However much of this depends on how and by what means one elects using to accomplish a charge.
Most chargers of lead acid design will have a Float stage, though I see no need to Float except as a means to avoid an extended period at 14.x Absorb voltage…Harvest is my primary charging source of choice, and it’s typically more moderate output is often low enough to negate the need for supervised charging…But as far as the PD goes (used for occasional ‘attended’ cell-balancing function), upon the completion of 14.x cell-balancing (as witnessed per Victron BMV 712, current holding at zero…), thereafter, I discontinue use of the PD.
