Jeff,
What I am trying to say is that the voltage level that you say you are reading is more in line with a charger being in absorption not float mode
But, these voltages levels are really dependent on weather your charger is temperature compensating. The quoted voltage levels are at 25°C or (77°F), as the temperature of the battery goes down the voltage levels will go up. I don't think I have every seen any posted documentation on what exactly Tripp-lite values are, but they should be relatively close to the lifeline manual.
I would also make sure you are only dealing with one charger, so pull the fuse from the panels or cover them up, so that you can take the solar charger out of the equation.
Unfortunately the tripp-lite does not report out a lot of info, but you should be able to tell when it thinks it's fully charged by the LED's , when in float the battery will be close to the air temperature, and you can kind of calculate the voltage level.
