The monitor will tell the controller when the battery is full. This allows for automatic extended absorption time during heavy use and very short absorption when in storage or light use.

Crutches. Using another device to help this one to work properly.
I have a current-based end of absorption on my controller. Heavy use - high current - absorption extends until heavy use is over. Light use - low current - absorption ends sooner. And simultaneously there is a timer-based absorption end, to end the struggle if it drags too long. Timer overrides the current-based end, i.e. when timer expires, absorption ends no matter what. Timer is adjustable too, of course. Very flexible firmware.
