-  - a simple [[electrical:solar:charge_controller#shunt|shunt charge controller]] holds the battery at a mild Absorption voltage (14.0, - 14.2v, see notes [[electrical:solar:shallow_cycling#charging_voltages_and_starter_batteries|below]]) when charging, just below the significant gassing point

   - the controller's LOAD output disconnects (LVD) at 100% SoC (~12.7v)
   - the controller's LOAD output //re//connects (LVR) at ~13.0v)

-==== components ====
-  * vehicle with starter battery
-  * simple [[http://amzn.to/2z8Sd8Y|10A controller **with configurable setpoints**]].  The controller should be mounted in a location easy for easy access if the built-in USB ports are going to be used.
-  * small solar panel; 25w-100W would be fine.
-  * connector of some kind if panel is mounted off-vehicle
-  * wiring from panel to controller and from controller to starter battery
-  * [[http://amzn.to/2xHjBi7|usb/12v power outlet]].  An outlet with USB ports in it would allow the controller itself to be mounted discreetly and closer to the battery.
