12.8 is what is stamped on the battery

Yes, that is a standard nominal voltage. What do the voltages measure with a meter? That is the question of the day.

Yes.
A 12V car battery charger is not a bad alternative to get them equal up to about 80% charge (depends on your charger).
If you do not own a 12V car charger, this is a good time to get one that also charges LiFePO4.

I read that lifepo4 should not be charged too often to 100%. What would be the safe float charge for these batteries? 55.2vdc divided by four is 13.8vdc which is 100% charge.

This is the chart the manufacturer sent in regards to their product

I use this for my 4S batteries. Holding here for 20 minutes to an hour helps get a good saturated charge.
For float, it depends on your use pattern. If using batteries full time or nearly everyday, a higher state of readiness at 13.6V is often used. Otherwise 13.4V popular. For my RV in the driveway way too often, i set to 13.2V until just before a trip, then 13.4.

You should not have equalization turned on for LiFePO4.
Set the equalization time to 0 minutes if you can.
Otherwise set the eq voltage to float or boost voltage (i don't know which, sorry).
