   * **Absorption voltage (Vabs)** - the voltage the battery bank is held at until [[electrical:12v:charging#absorption_stage|Absorption stage]]((sometimes confusingly called "boost" stage)) is //completed//. In this case the recommendation is 14.4v.  //Completed// absorption means your lead batteries are fully charged.((the controller being in Float does //not// necessarily mean the batteries were fully charged; controllers can drop to Float too early due to bad design, incorrect battery chemistry switches, or incorrectly-configured setpoints.))
   * **Float voltage (Vfloat)** - the voltage the battery bank is held at during [[electrical:12v:charging#float_stage|Float]].  In this case the recommendation is 13.5v.
-  * **Temperature compensation** - how the voltage setpoints are adjusted for temperature.  While this is sometimes configurable, generally the compensation factor is close enough between manufacturers that it can be left at the default.

   * **endAmps** - the amount of current (or percentage of capacity) accepted by the battery in late Absorption that indicates it's appropriate to Float.  In the lower-right of [[https://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/Trojan_QSG_AGM.pdf|this graph]] Trojan shows it as [[electrical:12v:battery_capacity|C]]/200:((actually C/20/200, but C/200 here for simplicity))  Also see **absorption duration** below.
