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?
