 ====== Battery monitors ======
+Battery monitors typically show battery voltage ([[meta:acronyms|Vbatt]]), Amps or Watts in (charging) / out (discharging).  Amp counting is an important metric because voltage on a circuit is affected by current, particularly if the wire is undersized.
+Watching amps trail off at the end of Absorption (endAmps) will also tell you when the bank is at 100% State of Charge.  The battery manufacturer will specify something like [[electrical:12v:battery_capacity|C/200]] or C/100 as a sign Absorption is complete.
