 ===== charging setpoints =====
-Most charging-related setpoints are //voltages//.
-  * Absorption voltage (Vabs) - the voltage the battery bank is held at during the absorption stage.
+  * **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
