 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.
