In normal activity, with standard alternator/VR charging, is sulfation a pr oblem since the starting energy is replaced shortly--=C2- unless there is significant starting problems and the aircraft is usually tied down or han gered with a relatively full charged battery.(of course if flown)? If left untouched for relatively long periods of time since the discharge rate is small, is it necessary to do anything? Do the appropriate chargers protect against this sulfation if left on as a trickle? also at what battery voltage=C2- level should external charging be appropriate?

It consists of a program counter, an instruction register, an instruction decoder, a timing generator, and an operation controller. It is the "decision-making body" that issues commands, that is, completes the coordination and direct operation of the entire computer system.
