Solar Float and Shore Power Float?
Been a few threads on this, but I never had the "issue" until now, so I am not too clear on just what is at stake here. On shore power Floating the batts at 13.8 (or whatever temp comp adjustment c...

I am supposing it is better to stay on a steady Float voltage (the correct voltage for that at the time) 24/7 than do a Float by solar with its ups and downs.
So if the solar takes the voltage above the correct Float for part of the day when you are on converter's Float, then just shut off the solar. You could also dial down the solar's high set point, but then you have to crank that back up when you go camping next time.
Using the solar every so often to give the voltage a boost for destratification is an idea. I don't know if AGMs would benefit from that too, but for their own reasons.
