How do you measure fully charged on your battery bank?
Fully charged on my batteries is when my battery charger goes to float mode.
Float mode on my battery charger depends on temperature of the batteries because it is temperature compensated. That would be somewhere close to 13.2 volts.
If measured at rest, without any source of charging, the batteries would measure around 12.7 volts.
When I pull into a campground after a day of driving (around six hours), and hook up to shore power, my battery charger goes almost immediately to float. If they were not fully charged at that time, the battery charger would go into Bulk mode.
I would like to add that my battery tester is a professional level OTC micro-load electronic battery tester that sells for more than $500.
It is not a simple multi-meter tester.
