Per BFL, “Perhaps there should be a new set of voltages for LFP for what to use while actively camping and what to use when the rig is not being used?”
Unlike conventional FLA batts, there is no real need to keep a LFP on a charger when the rig is not in use - isolation, or charge controller disconnect does the trick…
When charging, LFP’s are quite forgiving, as anything from the higher 13’teens to say the mid-14’teens will get the job done…When a full 100% SOC cell-balancing is desired, a charging source that’ll ‘post-charge’ passively transition to a max of 13.6v (or less), as does the Boondocker-Li and PD-Li will extend LFP battery life…
