   * in the tables below, lithium (Li) profiles effectively means "[[electrical:solar:status#setups_with_no_float|floatless]]" and lead (Pb) means "with [[electrical:12v:charging#float_stage|Float stage]]".  It is possible to define a quasi-Float for LiFePO4 using a "lead" profile;  see below.

 ===== using a lead profile to float Li =====
 There are reasons for and against [[electrical:12v:drop-in_lifepo4#mythyou_shouldn_t_float_lithium|"floating" lithium]].
+Renogy Li profiles are charge-and-stop:
+  - charge to the selected Boost setpoint
+  - stop charging
+  - drift down to the reBoost setpoint, typically 13.2v,if loads are present
+  - start the charging cycle again
+If you want to //hold// a 13.2v floor instead of cycling repeatedly you might charge use a Pb profile to charge to 14.1v((the lowest available)) and "float" at 13.2v.  This would let the bank relax to somewhere between ~60-70%,((it's notoriously hard to predict, so play with it - secessus)) although with light loads you might not fall to 13.2v until sundown.
+A 13.8V float is unacceptably high((IMO - secessus));  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.
