It's 3 PM, your voltmeter reads 12.2v. You have minimal electrical loads, just the refrig and the CO and propane monitor. Do you recharge now, disconnect the battery for 4 hours and check the voltage (and hope the ice cream is still not melted), or wait until morning?
In 4 hours maybe the limit on generator noise will start. In the morning the voltage will be still lower. worry, worry, worry.
I guess you know my answer.
Very well stated tenbear. That was my thought over installing a simple voltmeter. It will provide me enough information to make a decision whether to take action hours before quiet hour begins, or in the morning after quiet hour ends, with consideration to our plans for the evening and morning.
