-In off-grid solar charging scenarios batteries are most often damaged by [[electrical:batterycide|chronic undercharging]].  Specifically, not holding the [[electrical:solar:charge_controller_setpoints|manufacturer's recomended Absorption voltage]] (Vabs), and not holding that voltage long enough((duration)) for acceptance to drop to endAmps.

   * increased Vabs duration will require more frequent watering, due to increased outgassing
-  * calcium-enhanced batteries (typically starter batteries and some hybrid "marine" batteries) can be damaged((positive grid corrosion)) by long periods of excess voltage.    The question is which is worse for them:  undercharging or overvolting.
