If you are worried about cycling the batteries, which reduces life, and assuming your charger is properly rated for it, just run your charger as a power supply and disconnect the batteries.

I think you could use the "charge current control" assistant.
Connect a switch to AUX1(or AUX2 or tempsense) and use it to disable the charger if you don't want to charge the batteries.
The 90A you have to set to the value you need for your batteries.

Yes, just turn the charger off with Victron Connect when you dont want to be charging.
