Here is some general info I saw regarding float voltages some time ago, not specific to the BM...



Deep Cycle Battery FAQ

Last time I looked at my pack with BM attached in 'maint mode' for two days, the pack was at 52.6. I did notice that the individual voltages varied from battery to battery. The lowest was at 6.51 (2.17/cell) and the highest was at 6.75 (2.25/cell). I suspect this difference is telling me something, but it is not clear what and I have not had time to further investigate.
May not hurt to equalize the pack someday using a auto charger on the low ones
