 ===== increasing effective Absorption duration =====
-While you may not be able to increase the //actual// Absorption duration,((as when the controller setpoint is maxxed out)) you can achieve a similar effect with one or more of these techniques:
+Deep cycling generally extends the amount of time for a battery to complete Absorption. At some you may run into the controller's maximum Absorption duration.  While you may not be able to increase the //actual// duration,((as when the controller setpoint is maxxed out)) you can achieve a similar effect with one or more of these techniques:
-  * if duration setpoint is maxxed then **set Vfloat == Vabs**.  Absorption duration will effectively be "until the sun goes down".
+  * if duration setpoint is maxxed then [[electrical:12v:eternal_absorption|set Vfloat == Vabs]].  Absorption duration will effectively be "until the sun goes down".
   * **charge at a lower current** (charging minimum).  While [[opinion:frater_secessus:charging_faster|overall charging will take about the same amount of time]], Bulk's share of that time will increase and [[electrical:12v:charging#absorption|Absorption will take somewhat less time]].
   * **charge at a higher voltage** (Vabs), this will decrease Absorption duration.  Keep a close watch on water levels for flooded batts, and also mind the max allowable voltage for AGM/Gel.
