 +Controller behavior is guided by //setpoints//, or values stored internally.  On simpler controllers the setpoints may not be adjustable.  On others there is a range of values that can be stored.

 +===== charging setpoints =====

 +  * **Float voltage (Vfloat)** - the voltage the battery bank is held at during [[electrical:12v:charging#float_stage|Float]].  Common setpoint in most configurable controllers.
 +  * **Absorption voltage (Vabs)** - the voltage the battery bank is held at during [[electrical:12v:charging#absorption_stage|Absorption]].  Common.
 +  * **Absorption duration** - the amount of time Vabs will be held until dropping to Vfloat.  Somewhat common.
 +  * **Absorption termination** - the amount of current (or percentage of capacity) Absorption must fall to before dropping to Vfloat.  Not common.
 +  * **Absorption restart** - voltage (or duration) at which Absorption stage after failing to maintain Vfloat
