-In a perfect world, lead-acid batteries (both flooded and AGM) would be discharged no further than 50% then [[electrical:12v:charging|fully charged]] again each day.
+In a perfect world, lead-acid batteries (both flooded and AGM) would be discharged no further than 50% then [[electrical:12v:charging|fully charged]] again((ie, to 100% State of Charge)) each day.
 It is easier to get the batteries fullly charged each day when [[electrical:solar:overpaneling#vs_battery_bank|they are overpaneled]], but that trades battery health for less reserve for [[electrical:solar:output#insolation|days of poor insolation]].

 A comparison might be made with a pot that was used to cook oatmeal;  if rinsed soon after cooking it is easy to clean off.  If the oatmeal is allowed to dry onto the pot overnight it can turn into a concrete-like coating.
+To avoid hard sulfation and dramatic damage to battery capacity, fully charge the battery to 100% SoC as often as possible.  Daily is optimal.
