This is what I thought at first as well, but I've left the Renogy in boost for well over two hours while driving and charging via DC-DC, and over two days while charging via solar (after lowering the boost charge voltage to avoid damaging the battery) and it never exits "boost" mode to a float...

This is exactly the work around I have been using. My battery rests at 13.8 when it settles out under no load, so if I charge to 13.8 My battery is basically full. However I was under the impression that occasionally charging to a higher voltage like 14.4 (or 14.6 as recommended by SOK) helps...

I don’t think it’s the BMS shutting off the charge necessarily, because the charge watts/amps will taper to zero in the same way if I have the boost voltage set to 14.6 or 14.0 or 13.8. I’m just confused because the charger never exits the boost mode into an idle state or into a “float” stage (I...

I’m using a Renogy 30 amp DC-DC/MPPT charge controller to charge my SOK 206 AH Lifepo4. The “lithium” setting on the controller bulk charges fine, but when it hits the boost setting it seems to hold the battery at 14.6v indefinitely, and stay in “boost”. The charging amps drop to zero/near zero...
