I have LiPo batteries set up at my Cottage. In the winter I can be away anywhere up to 8 weeks at a time. If I leave the solar connected and they will charge to 100% given enough solar. Ideal because I arrive to 100%, but storing batteries at 100% isn't good for them. I'd like to have my charger charge to 80%, what settings would you advise?
 
3.3V/cell will keep them at a mid-range state of charge. If temperatures are mild, floating at 3.375V/cell will maintain near 100% SoC, and mild (or cold) temperatures do not cause degradation like high temps + high SoC.
