Battery voltage checking
Ok ,I have learned not to run a 12 volt battery below 12.1 to maximize lifespan. My question is : do you check voltage under load or at rest. Thanks,Mike

BFL, you certainly are not playing the part of "boob" :)
That is how it is supposed to be done. I would not OWN the rig that does not have proper instrumentation. How EASY it is to see -17 A/H and -1.6 amps which agrees with the expected load, then I turn in for the night. No advanced calculus just before bedtime. X=I/t - L. Read the meter, it's yes or no. There was a gyro gearloose in Willits, CA. that tried to use fuzzy logic algorithm to determine state of charge. He sorta got upset when I returned three of his units for refund and pronounced "Congratulations you have successfully managed to create an entity that manufactures then remembers it's own errors".
