-This is where the battery monitor shines.  Lead battery manufacturers typically specify Absorping until acceptance is some small percentage of [[electrical:12v:battery_capacity|bank capacity]] (C).
+Lead battery manufacturers typically specify Absorping until acceptance is some small percentage of [[electrical:12v:battery_capacity|bank capacity]] (C). These values can be expressed in different forms but they all mean the same thing:
-These values can be expressed in different forms but they all mean the same thing:
 ^ fraction       ^ percentage      | **decimal**      | **actual values for 100Ah bank**  |
 | C/200 - C/100  | 0.5% - 1% of C  | 0.005C - 0.010C  | 0.5A - 1A                         |
+As you can see the Amps in question are quite small;  this is why a battery monitor is important.
