+BMS-equipped LFP banks should be charged according to manufacturer's specs.  Bare cell charging is discussed [[electrical:12v:lifepo4_batteries_thread|on its own page]].
-The batteries can be charged with either a [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|charge controller]] with a LifePO4 profile, or a [[electrical:12v:charging|smart charger]] with programmable setpoints.  If the latter, something like a "Bulk" charge at 13.8, minimal "absorption", and "float" in the 13.25-13.4v range.((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=14960&pid=160365#pid160365))
-Technomadia charge to 14.2v, use a minimal "absorption", and "float" at as the setpoint , float at 13.6v.((http://www.technomadia.com/2012/09/a-year-on-lithium-rv-batteries/))
