As someone said, there's a plethora of info on the subject here. Most good, some can be misleading or easily misunderstood. When in doubt, call the manufacturer and compile notes.

Very true. All LiFePO4 batteries have a battery manager to manage the many 3.2 volt cells (80 or more). The manager needs a steady voltage of 14.2 to 14.6 volts to equalize the cells within the battery during charging. A lithium charger only has two stages bulk and float, as there is no need to reabsorb the hydrogen gas created during bulk charging, as in lead acid batteries. The float voltage can be anything less the 13.7 volts
