Yes lithium chargers that plug in are programmed to turn off.
Yes. This is why it's interesting to hear that some Li batteries need to be floated - like GBS.
When I read Battle Born manual, it explicitly says "Do not need to Float". You can set solar controller Float to 13.6, and the only result will be that battery BMS will stop the charging at this point. Also, there is no Absorption or Equalize for these batteries. Manual only says that Absorption (or Bulk) should be set to 14.x because 13.x is too low for charging. To sum it up - there is only Bulk and Off for this battery, no Float or Absorb. Manual just explains how to set up a conventional charger to make it compatible with Li battery.
I was unable to find an official manual for GBS where it would mention Float as a necessary stage.
