-Broadly speaking, //alternator charging is most effective in the morning// and //solar charging is most effective at local solar noon//.
+Broadly speaking, //alternator charging is most effective in the morning// and //solar charging is most effective at local solar noon//.  This pattern is most evident when using isolators/relays and/or lead chemistry batteries, and less evident when using [[electrical:12v:b2b|DC-DC chargers]] and/or lithium chemistries.
 There are several factors in play here.
