 A fractional reserve might be a half- or quarter day of battery reserve.  This takes into account the (reduced) contributions from your solar, alternator, etc.  It may also require going into voluntary [[electrical:solar:rationing|power-rationing mode]] when solar output is very low. A fractional reserve might be a half- or quarter day of battery reserve.  This takes into account the (reduced) contributions from your solar, alternator, etc.  It may also require going into voluntary [[electrical:solar:rationing|power-rationing mode]] when solar output is very low.
