 LiFePO4 will fully charge at voltages as low as the mid-13s,  but it will take more time.  That extra time is called "Absorption duration"(("boost duration in Renogy- and EpEver-speak)).  At the kinds of current levels we usually see in offgrid charging((~0.2C)) the duration looks like this:
-  *  ≥14.0v will charge to 100% SoC with zero minutes of absorption durations: hit the voltage setpoint and //stop//. Cell voltages tend to diverge as charging voltage increases above 14.0v because they are further up the knee (see below)
+  *  ≥14.0v will charge to ~100% SoC with zero minutes of absorption durations: hit the voltage setpoint and //stop//. Cell voltages tend to diverge as charging voltage increases above 14.0v because they are further up the knee (see below)
-  * 13.8v will charge to 100% SoC with a small amount of Absorption (10-30 minutes?) and cells tend to stay in balance.
+  * 13.8v will charge to ~100% SoC with a small amount of Absorption (10-30 minutes?) and cells tend to stay in balance.
-  * 13.6v will charge to 100% SoC with several hours of Absorption  <-- where we are starting
+  * 13.6v will charge to ~100% SoC with several hours of Absorption  <-- where we are starting
-  * 13.4v will //eventually// fully charge the bank but it would take days.  It takes so long we can use 13.4v as a Float voltage.
