I suspect 0.05% was a typo for 0.5%, since C/200 to C/100 are common specs.

Many controllers have incorrectly transitioned to Float prematurely, resulting in incomplete charging. This has included Victron CCs in some cases. That is why folks here responded to "my Victron solar controller goes through bulk and absorption phases and reaches float" with suggestions to make sure endAmps is really being reached.

I'd watch it once in late Absorption to verify end/trailing amps really are closing in on the 2A, then forget about it after that and enjoy the Fullrivers. I agree with Sailorboy1 when he suggests proper charging covers a multitude of sins.

I'd correct the typo, but clearly not worth for this posters thread.
