Over the past two weeks at anchor I needed to charge/top up the house bank almost daily.
I re read the charging profile and came up with this questions.
If bulk charges until absorb voltage is reached 14.4v and then absorb for 800Ah bank requires 150 minutes or 2-1/2 hours does that mean I have to charge for nearly 4 hours to go thru the profile before it goes to float?
I have been charging for about two hours per day to gain enough SOC for the next 24 hours. Only ever 100% SOC and into float plugged in at the dock, or underway for 4-5 hours. Everything works, but leaves me confused as LFP is touted as not having to be fully charged.
