-LFP batteries do not require multi-stage charging like lead-acid batteries; they are **charged until full and charging is stopped**.  LFP does not have an absorption phase like LA((LFP will pull full current until very nearly full)) and does not need floating in the LA sense((due to low self-discharge rates)).  +LFP batteries do not require multi-stage charging like lead-acid batteries; they are [[electrical:12v:charging#charge-and-stop|charged until full and then charging is stopped]].  LFP does not have an absorption phase like LA((LFP will pull full current until very nearly full)) and does not need floating in the LA sense((due to low self-discharge rates)).
