FWIW, LFP Simple Rules I live by - JMO
1) Except for occasional cell re-balancing, no need to fully recharge a LFP on a ‘wet-cell like’ routine basis…
2) Monitor closely the last few percent of recharge to 100% SOC thru to end of cell-balancing activity…
3) Post cell-balancing activity, discontinue Boost charging (avoiding the longer term) - shut-off 12v converter (at breaker) and thereafter run minor 12v loads from the battery (this still supplies active 120v for larger appliances). When off-grid, LFP can be supplemented with harvest…
4) For long term storage, disconnect and store LFP somewhere in the mid-SOC range (60-40’ish % SOC range).

I thought the idea of LFP batteries was to eliminate "maintenance" and hassle :h
Looks like you signed on to a lot of work and hassle :S
MY FLA requires a simple plug in and forget and once a year check and add water if needed :B Maximizing my enjoyment of my RV without the work.
My PD takes very good care of my FLAs yr round and keeps them in good working condition that takes them well over 10yrs of life.
