//Shallow-cycling// is a more aggressive approach, allowing for more power in the daytime and some power for use after sundown. It is most **suitable for starter batteries with removable cell caps** so you can add distilled water; they will outgas a bit under heavy use. | //Shallow-cycling// is a more aggressive approach, allowing for more power in the daytime and some power for use after sundown. It may also allow the use of inverter loads that have startup surges.

The charging setpoint is set somewhat higher, ~14.2v. This will result in minor outgassing and a bit more power (**76.18W** using the panel data above). [[electrical:12v:charging#watering_batteries|Battery watering]] is mandatory. | The charging setpoint is set somewhat higher, ~14.2v.
