I know that battery banks are most happy when discharged only slightly, so I tend to use my genset often to keep the charge level up. I currently have been starting the genset and recharging when battery voltage gets down to 12 volts.
How about a simple thread telling what minimum voltage you try to keep before using your genset to recharge? I have talked with people who say they run down to 11.8 volts.
