Actually, clipped is better and a little more accurate. A battery does not absorb Electromotive Force (loosely called voltage), instead electrical potentials are dropped across elements. I would have expected you to say that the panel behaves as a constant current charger. COLVERT - this is shameful given your attention to detail and in particular detail concerning choice of words!

when the dog lady comes around. I see it as a very slight increase in surface voltage and thus reducing any potential damage to any of the cars delicate electronic bits by over-pressurising them by too high a circuit voltage. I'll stick to my own description but thanks all the same after asking the opinion of a couple of family members.---Clipped was meaningless to them. All I got was a shrug and a negative shake of the head. I have heard of clippies on buses and even a clip joint but never to do with batteries after more the 65 years of messing about with them.-- Get your tickets clipped over here.---Lol. PS. My choice of words has severely deteriorated since the word PARAGON disappeared off my T-Shirt in the weekly wash. Last edited by COLVERT; 8th December 2021 at 20:20.. |

Clipping is a common term used in signal processing to describe what happens when the top of a waveform is flattened to a certain maximum value.
Clearly you have not trained your family well in these matters. |

"Clipped"

Indeed it is and by definition it applies to an a.c. waveform which would not be found charging an automotive lead acid battery! It is important for everyone's understanding that correct terminology is always used. Unfortunately it isn't. To be fair to MarkS he did place the offending word within inverted commas but even that doesn't make the claim any more understandable. It is best just simply ignored. Simon

Morning Simon, except that from a signal processing viewpoint DC is just one special case of a sinusoid in that it is a sinusoid of zero frequency. In fact most real-world signals have a DC component and many AC components where the clipping may in fact occur due to the presence of the relatively large DC component. So the term is safe to use for AC and DC, I would suggest. In any case, it is great fun to suggest to COLVERT that he is nearly there but not quite! |

As you like to be competitive, how about competing against my 6 great, great grandchildren. Bet you can't beat that and never will.--- Zero frequency is just that---ZERO. Unclippable. Last edited by COLVERT; 10th December 2021 at 20:04.. |

Six ((great^2) grandchildren) - Ok I give in. When a DC voltage is passed through a function such that what comes out is less than what goes in, it is reasonable to call the output a clipped version of the input. It's far more reasonable than to call it absorbed, which is what I said in the first place. PS - I'm not competitive. I just don't want you to feel that you know more then me!
