 Tracer (and the Renogy rebrands) refer to the **Absorption stage as "boost"**.  This is an unforced error; the nonstandard term confuses newcomers and conflicts with the already-existing "[[electrical:solar:charge_controller#mppt|MPPT boost]]" term.
-The **battery icon** found on many Tracer controllers is unnecessary and misleading.  The manual claims it is a  [[electrical:depth_of_discharge|State of Charge]] meter but there is no guide to reading it.  Since the same voltage can result in different display during charging and non-charging scearios, it may actually be a **charging indicator rather than state of charge indicator**.  Secessus' unscientific observation reveals these weak correlations:
