Using default LiFePO4 settings for Bulk Absorption and Float? Probably not...

I'm playing around with these settings for a while and observe how the charge controller handles different situations. When does it stop charging, when does it start charging again? What's the 'best' for Bulk, Absorption and Float mode? What Absorption Time and Tail Current works well...

This is so confusing for beginners (like me) so I really break this down as much as possible to understand what happens and why.

I don't like the default settings in the Victron charge controller for LiFePO4 cells. They seem to waste a lot of solar energy by not turning the charger back on quick enough.
(Edit: this video was made in the early stage of me exploring charge algorithms of LiFePO4. Once fully charge, the charger can keep the battery at float mode as it is already full. It does not need to turn on again as the battery is still 100% full).
