I am kind of perplexed on Float Service. I visited a set of LFP's I installed for a customer over the winter. They are on a Outback Inverter with a Mate and FN-dc and hub. The system draws 60 watts on pass through, so if it's fully charged and left floating at some point during the week it will drop low enough to start using power to maintain the Float voltage. I set it up with the Float at 13.1v with a re-float of 12.7v over the winter without any load. The more I am thinking about this it may not be the best strategy. Now that summer is here the Inverter will have loads on it and the refrigerator will be a critical load, so shutting it off or by-passing is not a option.
A bigger problem is the Bank will have to be fully charged prior to leaving the Marina. Generally people get to their boats and head out for the weekend, they won't be thrilled about waiting a couple hrs waiting on Batteries to charge.
I think the Float / Re-float will accelerate the life cycles. Thoughts anyone ??
