I know, a full battery reads 12.8 open circuit but ...

Ok, there are graphs galore that show open circuit voltages for condition vs voltage. My question is: "What readings do you see on you panel with a moderate load?" Let's say you're boondocking...

I don't think my RV batteries care if I start charging them when they're actually intrinsically sitting at EMF potentials of 11.92V, or 12.20V, or 11.97V, or 12.09V, or 11.76V, or 12.22V, or some other ballpark volts. My RV voltmeter's readings get me close enough .... or at least I think they have with my nearly 8 year old RV batteries, so far. :h
