Most charging involves holding((or trying to reach)) a particular voltage [[electrical:12v:electrical_notation|setpoint]].((current-terminated Absorption excepted for purposes of this discussion)) If a charging source sees the bank voltage is above its own setpoint it thinks the job is done; it sits quietly. | Most charging involves holding((or trying to reach)) a particular voltage [[electrical:12v:electrical_notation|setpoint]].((current-terminated Absorption excepted for purposes of this discussion)) If a charging source sees the bank voltage is above its own setpoint it thinks the job is done; it sits quietly. |

Example. Pretend you have a bank in a van with [[electrical:12v:alternator|alternator charging]] and two [[electrical:solar:panels|solar panels]] on the roof. Each panel has a dedicated [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|charge controller]] because the panels are of wildly different specs. This gives us three charging sources if you are driving down the road at dawn. | Example. Pretend you have a bank in a van with [[electrical:12v:alternator|alternator charging]] and 400w of [[electrical:solar:panels|solar panel]] (2x200w) on the roof. Each panel has a dedicated [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|charge controller]] because the panels are of wildly different specs. This gives us three charging sources if you are driving down the road at dawn. |

The alternator is just a plain alternator and puts out 14.0v all the time. | The alternator is just a plain alternator and puts out 14.0v all the time. |
