+NOTE: this is a new feature that is being rolled out in steps, and currently in beta. We'll be testing this over the summer period; and once stable announce it officially.
-  - VE.Bus Firmware, implement float-only feature - done per version 26/27xx506.
+Status in details:
-  - VEConfigure, add float-only config option - pending. Expected late June 2023.
+  - VE.Bus Firmware, implement float-only feature - done per version 26/27xx506; which is included in VictronConnect V5.92beta1
-  - VictronConnect, add float-only setting & add user control to override it in case a full charge from shore is needed - pending.
+  - VEConfigure, add float-only config option - Included in VEConfigure Version 90.04,236(Beta)
-  - Venus OS Normal GUI, add user control to override it in case a full charge from shore is needed.

+  - Venus OS Normal GUI, add user control to override it in case a full charge from shore is needed. - Included in Venus OS v3.10~17
   - Venus OS HTML5 GUI, add user control to override it in case a full charge from shore is needed - pending.
   - VRM Dashboard controls, same - pending.
-In other words, per late June 2023, it is possible to use this feature. A while later, hopefully already in July, we’ll have added the user option to - temporarily - override it for moments when a full charge from shore is required.

 WARNING: updating the firmware of this product range is strongly advised to be carried out by trained personnel only. Doing the update will cause all settings to be reset to their default: we therefor advise to save the settings before updating and after updating reinstall the configuration.

 Update VE.Bus firmware to 506 or higher:
-  * To do that locally, using an MK3-USB adapter, use VictronConnect. [[https://www.victronenergy.com/media/pg/VictronConnect_configuration_guide_for_VE.Bus_products/en/firmware-updates.html|Full instructions]].
+  * Install the VictronConnect beta version V5.92beta1 or later, available [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/victronconnect:beta#v592beta1|here]], and use that to update the firmware of the Multis or Quattro.
-  * To do that remotely, over the internet, see [[https://www.victronenergy.com/live/venus-os:remote_ve.bus_firmware_updates |the Remote VE.Bus firmware update instructions]].
+For now, VictronConnect beta is the only source for the new 506 firmware, therefor the firmware update through VRM option is not possible at the moment.

 The setting is enabled in VEConfigure, on the advanced tab:

-Once enabled the Multi will charge to float.
+These are the recommended sustain voltages:
+^ System voltage ^ LiFePO4 ^ Lead (AGM, Gel) ^
+| 12V | 13.0V | Float minus 0.2V |
+| 24V | 26.0V | Float minus 0.3V|
+| 48V | 52.0V | Float minus 0.4V|
+For Lithium, setting Sustain to 13.0V, which equals 3.25V per cell, makes the system maintain a minimum state of charge of approximately 30%.
+For Lead ... ?
