Question on new inverter reading
My new 1200 watt pure sine wave inverter arrived yesterday. I just hooked it up to a new group 27 deep cycle. the LED read 12.9 volts. I then plugged a fan into it and turned it on. Voltage immediatel...

Give me a break !! What a bunch of mis informed people here, including that there is no grp 27 deep cycle battery,...what BS
10 or 10.5 volts is loaded voltage, means NOTHING as to the % discharge voltage.
A volt reading of 10.5 could be on a nearly full charge battery if it is heavily loaded as in a microwave situation.
To the OP....in my many years of experience,...and w/o getting really technical, your voltage readings seem to be,...and probably are perfectly normal.
Never look for a true % of discharge....SOC standing voltage reading until the battery is unloaded for at least 2 hrs.
Digital meters, even the $1 ones are most always accurate w/in less than 1/10 of a volt, and I have compared dozens of them over the years.
