Thanks guys. The TT is brand new and I've plugged it in here and there at home for the past week. Today its had the opportunity to be plugged in the longest its ever been (at least since I've had it). I just went out and unplugged it after 6-7 hours and the fan was not running. Does that mean the inverter finished charging the battery?
I've been meaning to disconnect the battery and put a trickle charge on it. Its brand new, but that doesn't mean anything.
If the converter had the fan running when first powered, it was probably in "bulk" charging mode. I would guess that the battery is 90-95% charged after 6 hrs.
Disconnecting the battery and putting a trickle charger on it is some great advice you're giving yourself.
Do your self a favor and get a hand-held meter. They can be had for anywhere from $5 -> $60 with all the bells and whistles. With a meter you'll take all of the guessing out of your battery health situation. It will also be real handy for diagnosing any issues in the future.
