-//Partial state of charge// (PSoC) refers to the state of a lead-chemistry battery when it is left below 100%  State of Charge (partially [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|discharged]]).  Both long periods of PSoC and lower voltage are damaging to lead acid batteries (ie, [[electrical:batterycide|battery murder]]), usually due to "hard sulfation" (see [[#sulfation|below]]).+//Partial state of charge// (PSoC) refers to the state of a lead-chemistry battery when it is left below 100%  State of Charge (partially [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|discharged]]), which lead-chemistry batteries do not like.((Vandwellers who expect PSoC conditions may get better results from battery chemistries that don't mind PSoC, like Lithium or carbon-doped lead.))

 +Since state of charge is measured "on the way down" from [[electrical:12v:charging|full charging]] PSoC can result from: 
 + 
 +  - failure to fully charge lead batteries (typically [[electrical:batterycide|failure to hold Vabs for sufficient duration]], widespread); or 
 +  - fully and correctly charging but then allowing the battery to rest without a Float (maintenance) charge (less common) 
 + 
 + 
 +Both long periods of PSoC and incomplete charging are damaging to lead acid batteries (ie, [[electrical:batterycide|battery murder]]), usually due to "hard sulfation" (see [[#sulfation|below]]).
