Good morning Richard! Just read your latest note before coffee, and I'm eager to share my overnight observation that is exactly as you suggest. I lowered the Recharge to 13.0V last night, and that change allowed the batteries to settle at 13.3V in Silent mode. The voltage has held at 13.3 for almost 12 hours at this point. The CHG light on the Magnum remote panel continues to blink, indicating that no float is happening.
My Xantrex monitor, which I refreshed to 100% state of charge after the last charge cycle, is showing about a 3.3A draw, 94.1% SOC and 13.2V. (I plan to replace it with the integrated Magnum BMK.)
Regarding changing the CV Charge Done setting to Amps, you probably know that the manual specifically recommends against this; I had concluded that it was the way to go but was stopped by the voice of authority. But the manual was written long before our batteries were invented, and I accept your voice over theirs. So I'll put in that change now so it's ready for the charge cycle when it comes around.
More reports to come!
