Recently seen several youtubers saying that floating lithium batteries is harmful. Any opinions on this? If floating is harmful, how should multiplus be configured to avoid?
(This is for system w/o built-in BMS as many vendors who sell BMS built-in lithium's seem to have their BMS address this issue from what I understand, This is *especially* true of the very popular direct 12V replacement style batteries).
I have Battle Borns and their advice is you don’t need to float their batteries, but you can if you want to. I have my charger set for 14.4 absorbtion, 13.6 float and 13.2 storage. LFPs will retain their charge a lot longer than AGM, SLA, FLA, etc.
Lithium is a completely different beast that Lead, there are a lot of methods that you simply need to forget. With lithium there is no spoon, I mean float.
