Hi 2oldman,
Glad to hear that I'm wrong--at least in some cases. It would certainly be a deal breaker for small solar.

Except Li doesn't want to be float charged. Not ever!
My 48v pack has a float specification. Perhaps the 12v drops ins do not.. don't know.
My 12v GBS li-ion have a float setting.
Doing a quick view from Battleborn Batteries drop ins, from thier FAQ section.
"You can use any standard charger, solar or wind charge controller to charge our LIFEPO4 deep cycle battery. There are some chargers and controllers that are programmable to get full usage out of your battery, but most will have an AGM setting which normally bulk charges about 14.4 volts and floats at 13.6 volts. These levels are great for your Battle Born battery."
Maybe you're thinking of absorb stage?
Here are the settings used by my installer.
The following parameters are for programming the ME-ARC Version 4 advanced control.
Setup 02B LBCO Setting: Volts = 12.0
Setup 03C Battery Type: = Custom
Set Absorb Volts: = 14.2
Set Float Volts: = 13.6
Set EQ Volts: = 14.2
Set EQ Done Time: = 0.1
Setup 03D Absorb Done Time: = 0.1
Setup 03E Max Charge Rate: = 100%
Setup 03G Final Charge Stage: = Float
