Why do battery needs a float current?
I mean, when it's full, floating and there are no loads? To fight the self-discharge, alright. But it draws a bit more than self-discharge would require. I have 300 AH AGM bank, self-discharge ...

I'm going to assume the loss is due to the inefficiencies of batteries and chargers. As for the math or the chemical explanation, I don't know.
I have maintenance battery chargers on four different battery systems and they all work fine. (Two in my coach, one for my motorcycle and one for my CPAP backup.) They replace the electrical energy lost due to inefficiencies of battery design.
This almost sounds like a problem that doesn't need solving. Sorry, but I had to say that.
