-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]].

-While you may not be able to increase the //actual// Absorption duration,((as when the controller setpoint is maxxed out)) you can achieve a similar effect with one or more of these techniques:
+Deep cycling generally extends the amount of time for a battery to complete Absorption. At some you may run into the controller's maximum Absorption duration.  While you may not be able to increase the //actual// duration,((as when the controller setpoint is maxxed out)) you can achieve a similar effect with one or more of these techniques:
