What if there is no load? It will still be floating.

Still don't understand why they design for a float stage. Weird that we have to change the parameters for a so called "ideal Lithium" charger.

That's what I think. But the widely used Victron Orion-Tr Smart has a Float stage same as the CTEK D250SE. The only DC-DC charger I could find where the float stage could be disabled is the Enerdrive DC2DC but I can't find a European distributor for that one.

Hi all, I am a bit confused about the charging profiles of many DC-DC chargers (and other chargers also). I can understand the bulk and absorption stages for a LiFePo4 battery. But why the float stage? It does not improve battery life or capacity. I would want charging to completely stop at...

Understood. Thank you for enlightening me on this

Hi, I am a little confused. From all the information I gathered I concluded that it is best for Lifepo4 batteries not to be overcharged and not to push the 100% limit. On the other hand that you should not dicharge upt 0%. Now I read on the battleborn site : " LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate)...
