Float charge is beneficial to a battery. Period. I do not understand why anyone would want to disable that portion of a charge controller function. It's not like you're paying for the sunlight that maintains the float charge. Disabling float charge would be analogous to turning off your house water at the city street connection everytime you did not need to turn on a faucet inside your home.
