- | Deep cycles generally extend the amount of time for a battery to complete Absorption. | ||
* get power back into the battery ASAP after deep discharge; | * get power back into the battery ASAP after deep discharge; | ||
- | * increase Absorption | + | * fully charge lead-chemistry batteries as often as possible |

+ | * if duration setpoint is maxxed then **set Vfloat == Vabs**. | ||
+ | * **charge at a lower current** (charging minimum). | ||
+ | * **charge at a higher voltage** (Vabs), this will decrease Absorption duration. | ||
