. Pay close attention to this, especially if the charger is mounted and you are looking at it from an odd angle. Pb Float voltage | SW1 | SW2 | SW3 | SW4 | SW5 |

There are reasons for and against "floating" lithium.
Renogy Li profiles are charge-and-stop:
If you want to hold a 13.2v floor instead of cycling repeatedly you might charge use a Pb profile to charge to 14.1v6) and “float” at 13.2v. This would let the bank relax to somewhere between ~60-70%,7) although with light loads you might not fall to 13.2v until sundown.
A 13.8V float is unacceptably high8); it would pin the bank at 100% all day. 13.5v, the last option, may be acceptable if you are running heavier loads. 13.5v will put constant (albeit relatively gentle) charging pressure on the bank. Experiment with it; if it pins SoC at 100% all day then 13.2v might be healthier for the battery.
