BQ24650 solar charger for Lead acid batteries

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24650

Hello,

We are designing an MPPT solar charger for Lead acid batteries. 

As per SLUSA75, Sheet 12, the lead acid batteries "After the battery has been fully charged, a float charge is required to compensate for the self-discharge".

From the charging profile of BQ24650, it has 3 cycles (pre-conditioning, constant current, and constant voltage) then charging will be terminated.

Please advise how the float charge to the lead acid batteries can be implemented with BQ24650.

Thanks
