Totally novice so please be kind with your reply
I am buying 8x 200ah Calbs cells, it seen the best way to top balance them is first wired them in parallel and give them a full charge.
Is it better to do this as two banks of 12v200ah or one bank 12v400ah ?
My shore charger is Centaur Charger 12/40 , by using AGM setting will this be ok ?
As I keep reading lithium don't like being on Float At what point do I remove it from charge . When the Amos drop to 1A/ 0A ?
And is this best done with the BMS connection or not ?
Once there been charger and reconfigure them to serial and charge 3.4/3.5v/3.6v until the Amps full to 0A
As this is possible a one off plus we don't really have room to carry more chargers on board what reasonable price charge is recommended ?
The small lithium chargers seen to only have one setting 3.6v , I guess using one of them will take a long time .
Thank guys

Your Centar charger must not charge more than 14.6V or float above 13.6V. Floating at or below 3.4V is fine.
 
Shore charger setting
LA abs 14.5v float 13.5v
AGM 14.3v abs 13.3v float
So I guess the LA setting is better for charging lithium?
