 This is the tricky part.  Shunts (or controllers set with [[electrical:12v:eternal_absorption|Vabs == Vfloat]]) have one charging voltage.  What should we use? This is the tricky part.  Shunts (or controllers set with [[electrical:12v:eternal_absorption|Vabs == Vfloat]]) have one charging voltage.  What should we use?

-  * folks who non-cycle might charge to 13.6v as if the battery is simply being maintained.  This leaves some power on the table (~8.5%) for non-MPPT controllers but may be easier on the battery. +  * folks who non-cycle might charge to 13.6v as if the battery is simply being maintained.  This leaves some power on the table (~8.5%) for non-MPPT controllers but may be easier on the battery.
