 ====== Overbanking ======
-Overbanking means having a lead-acid chemistry (flooded or AGM) bank oversized compared to available solar power.
+Overbanking means having a lead-acid chemistry (flooded or AGM) bank oversized compared to available solar-only charging power.
-The [[electrical:solar:panel-bank_ratio|solar:battery ratio]] would be something like 1:2.
+The [[electrical:solar:panel-bank_ratio|solar:battery ratio]] might be something like 1:2.
 Overbanked designs are generally found when a 'dweller wants to run large [[electrical:inverter|inverter]] loads and forgets how much power it takes to **recharge the batteries fully every day**.  Failure to recharge fully leads to [[electrical:batterycide|battery murder]].
+[[electrical:12v:alt_and_solar|Adding alternator charging]] or [[electrical:converter|shore power charging]] to solar can help oversized banks healthy.
 **Note:** [[electrical:12v:lifepo4_batteries_thread|Lithium]] chemistries are not bothered by partial state of charge so overbanking is a non-issue for them.
