 See:  [[electrical:severe_battery_use#increasing_effective_absorption_duration|increasing effective Vabs duration through increased voltage]].
+Some controllers/chargers have a "restart Absorption" option allows one to override Float and get more time at Vabs.  Best use of this feature would be to look at the controller display a few minutes before the Absorption timer is due to expire.  If acceptance is good let it go.  If acceptance is too high give the bank another round of Absorption.
 If those approaches are insufficient, //Eternal Absorption// approach completely forgoes Float stage, forcing the controller to stay in Absorption by **setting Vfloat to Vabs**. This addresses the controller issues above.  It will not address the insolation problem on a given day, but extended Absorption will help reduce damage from previous days of poor harvest.
