I read some inverters have 2 stage charging. Bulk, absorption and off. At the set point, 12 to 13 volts, the charger repeats the 2 stage.
Behind me here in the apartment is a fairly inexpensive 2000 watt Inverter Charger (Xantrex freedom)
3-stage plus charging with some programmability (not sure how much without reading the manual) Back when I had the motor home I had a Prosine 2.0 (more expensive more adjustable)

I recently purchased an LI-something (LiFePO4) 25AH for portable HF radio use. and the proper (4 amp in this case) charger.
