       * in the broad "flat" portion of the voltage curve (20%-80 state of charge) current will likely stabilize around 0.2C.  We could use 0.2C as our average rate.  10Ah replaced.
+==== in the real world ====
+In most installs this variability isn't a major issue:
+  * combiner charging is commonly paired with solar charging (also highly variable!)
+  * alternator charging is often a backup or "nice when you can get it" charging source.  Exception:  there are [[electrical:12v:mandatory_solar|scenarios that depend on it]].
