Any Advantage to Lithium with Bluetooth?
I’m converting from lead acid to lithium in our 2022 320CSS. I currently use the Victron app, a battery shunt and a multimeter to monitor my battery. Is there any added value to paying extra for a lit...

Interesting :) FWIW, what you’re describing is pretty much how I opt to cycle and charge my drop-in LFP’s.
Before departing, I fully charge and balance the two 200a/hr paralleled batteries, but after that they tend to kinda float off of solar harvest, routinely cycling them (harvest dependent…) from about 80-90’ish% SOC, to something lower and then back again…After about 4 or so ‘less that full recharge’ cycles, I typically opt for another 100% full recharge to restore proper cell balance and to address cumulative metering drift…A voltage programmable solar controller (with programmable ‘post full charge’ time-out) makes unattended charging an easy option (i.e. avoiding the possibility of an over charge…)…Since there’s really no absorption phase, just a single voltage, and no real need to routinely fully re-charge, charging has proved to be uber straightforward and uncomplicated…

There is an adsorption phase, it's just short (5 to 15 minutes) and no requirement for a different voltage due to the lower internal resistance of LFP. ya I do all my charging with my solar right now as I haven't found a converter, I like so I don't plug it in anymore and let the solar keep everything where I want. it is pretty easy I just open the app to log into the BMS and pic the profile I want.
