 Flooded lead-acid (FLA) batteries are the most resillient to mistreatment but they too can be killed.
-  * leaving them at [[electrical:12v:psoc|partial state of charge]], resulting in //irreversible// sulfation
+  * leaving them at [[electrical:12v:psoc|partial state of charge]], resulting in //irreversible// sulfation((AKA "hard" sulfation.  The battery undergoes "soft" sulfation and desulfation during normal charging/discharging.))
     * not charging soon enough;  they need charging every day
     * not charging fully; they need a [[electrical:12v:charging#absorption_stage|long Absorption stage]] at manufacturer-recommended voltage to reverse normally-occurring ("soft") sulfation.((http://support.rollsbattery.com/support/solutions/articles/5964-battery-sulfation))  \\ [[electrical:generator#charging_batteries|Generator-only charging]] can cause this unless the generator runs the necessary number of hours it takes to complete Absorption.  \\ Less commonly, [[electrical:solar|Solar]]-only charging can cause this problem if the [[electrical:solar:sizing|battery capacity is too great for the solar output]].
