Cycle Satiator - setings for 12V LiFPO4 off grid battery?

Hi I'm hoping someone can clear up a bit of confusion. I'm trying to charge a 100Ah 12V (12.8V) LiFePO4 off grid battery using the Satiator.

The lithium profile allows me to choose a "full voltage" and charge rate but not a charging voltage.

This battery manufacturer calls for a 14.6V charger output. If I put 14.6 in the "full voltage" setting, does that mean the charger will put 14.6 into the battery?

If I want to charge to 85%, shouldn't I be able to put a lower "full voltage" but still set a 14.6 charge voltage?. If anyone can suggest the best settings for this battery that would be greatly appreciated. For now I will put 14.4V and 8.0A and let the rest auto populate.

The BMS specs are:
Over Charge Protection: 14.6
Over Charge Protection Release: 14.2
Over Discharge Protection: 9.2
Over Discharge Protection Release: 10.8

Charge current will be the max supported by Satiator because the pack is able to be charged at 50A (This would be with a big solar array normally)

Thanks so much!
 
If you put 14.6V, it will charge to full.

3.6V/cell is a good cutoff, so keep doing it your way.
 
OK great thanks. This is just for the initial charge each season. Then this battery will run off of a MPPT solar controller. Just want to make sure I'm not doing anything bad to the battery (though I guess the BMS will protect it from most mistakes)
Thanks again
