Epever Tracer 4210AN never charges past 13.8V

I have a 200Ah lifepo4 battery. Didn't realize there was a separate menu for lifepo4. I Will look into it.
 
Not to hijack this thread but I have a question about setting as well.
I’ve set my battery type to LiFePO4 numerous time via the Bluetooth app but it still says “User” on the basic settings screen.
The Advanced settings screen doesn’t seem to reflect LiFePO4 parameters, can someone tell me what I’ve done wrong?

I have my own thread here as well, but it includes additional questions about the EPEver AN MPPT disabling all charging after noon: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/epever-tracer-4215an-won’t-charge-after-lunch.40531/#post-512484368C05B8-0C89-4F61-B47C-547AF9A5CC1B.png

I have a home-built campervan with a 200Ah LiFePO4-battery, a 400W-panel and Epever Tracer 4210AN. I've never installed a solar system before, so I have absolutely no experience, and the little knowledge I have comes from Youtube. The label on the battery clearly states that the max voltage is 14.4V, but the charge controller never charges the battery past 13.8V.

I understand that keeping the battery at 13.8V is good for the health of the battery, but there are times when I wish I could charge the battery to 100%. I'm using the default settings in the charge controller, as they appear to be correct, but maybe I'm missing something.

Does anybody know how I can make the charge controller charge the battery to 100%, at least occasionally when I need it? The Float Charging Voltage is 13.8V, so my assumption is that the charge controller is more or less constantly in float charging. Can I safely change the float charging voltage to 14.4V, or will that damage the battery?
i have same problem but with lead acid and dont charge over 13.2v
