Hello Drake, Absorption is the phase where voltage remains constant. Until the Absorb voltage value is achieved, you will be bulk charging. You can only force Float or Bulk.

The Outbacks are off grid inverters, but are AC coupled to the batteries to provide power when the grid is down. The inverters monitor the batteries and go into REFLOAT when the batteries hit 25 volts. I would like the inverters to go strait into the ABSORB cycle instead of going to REFLOAT. The grid tie came after the the Outbacks were already in as a backup system.
