I watched this video:
He suggests that trickle charging is bad but doesn't explain why.
So I googled: lifepo4 trickle charge issues and got this:
For those who don't have any test equipment more advanced than a Seeley multi-meter how would one decipher from the controllers instructions that it charges a LiFePo battery as intended? NB: I watched that particular video because it uses what I presume is a pretty generic chinese version of the controller I have.
The instructions for which can be found here:
I have disconnected the solar panel from my setup as a precaution.
Oh, the instructions say: float charge- gel (mine has gel/lifepo in this column) but the voltage is the same. Is this the voltage that it charges until it reaches this value?
Also, mine's the 10A version ecopower one.
