-Note:  although this page was written with alternator-augmented solar charging in mind, the general principles also apply to [[electrical:shore_power|shore power charging]] and [[electrical:generator|generator]] charging.

 Alternator + solar charging has considerable benefits over [[electrical:12v:alternator|alternator charging alone]], and over solar alone.

 ===== how solar helps =====
+Solar works anytime there is available sunlight, not just when the vehicle is running.
 Alt charging alone is unlikely to get lead-acid chemistries fully charged since Absorption can take hours.  Incomplete charge ([[electrical:12v:psoc|Partial State of Charge]], or PSOC) over time will result in [[electrical:batterycide|battery murder]].
