-The absorption stage, sometimes called //acceptance// or //boost//, is a constant voltage stage during which the battery is brought to full charge.  This stage requires a **great deal of time** but decreasing amounts of current.
+The absorption stage, sometimes called //acceptance//((which makes sense)) or //boost//((doesn't make sense!)), is a constant voltage stage during which the battery is brought to full charge.  This stage requires a **great deal of time** but decreasing amounts of current.
 Absorption **begins when the battery reaches the absorption voltage** ([[electrical:12v:electrical notation|Vabs]], 14.8v in our example) and **ends when the battery tapers off current acceptance** to something like C/100 ("End Absorb", "endAmps"),  and/or when a period of time has elapsed.  In practice absorption takes longer when the battery has been discharged deeply and shorter when it has not.((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/Thread-Can-a-solar-panel-and-charge-controller-over-charge-a-battery?pid=96965#pid96965))
