Deep cycling generally extends the amount of time for a battery to complete Absorption. | |

* get power back into the battery ASAP after deep discharge; drive for [[electrical:12v:alternator|alternator charging]] or run a [[electrical:generator|generator]] to get bulk stage going. Solar alone //might// be sufficient but it might require meaningful [[electrical:solar:overpaneling|overpaneling]]. | * get power back into the battery ASAP after deep discharge; drive for [[electrical:12v:alternator|alternator charging]] or run a [[electrical:generator|generator]] to get bulk stage going.

* if duration setpoint is maxxed then set Vfloat == Vabs. Absorption duration will effectively be "until the sun goes down". | * if duration setpoint is maxxed then **set Vfloat == Vabs**. Absorption duration will effectively be "until the sun goes down". |
* charge at a lower current (charging minimum). While [[opinion:frater_secessus:charging_faster|overall charging will take about the same amount of time]], Bulk's share of that time will increase and [[electrical:12v:charging#absorption|Absorption will take somewhat less time]]. | * **charge at a lower current** (charging minimum).

* charge at a higher voltage (Vabs), this will decrease Absorption duration. Keep a close watch on water levels for flooded batts, and also mind the max allowable voltage for AGM/Gel. | * **charge at a higher voltage** (Vabs), this will decrease Absorption duration.
