Just to add to some of the other posts in this thread. Using the chart that Roy posted works well, however you must do the check when the system in not under load and has not been charged recently. Ideally, several hours of idle state.
Actually there is a different chart for resting voltage. As the chart above shows 10.5 volts as discharged is actually part of the BCI (Battery Council International) definition of RC (reserve capacity) where the battery is loaded to 25 amps and 10.5v is the stopping point considered discharged.
Resting voltage chart:
So 12.06 volts is really someplace between 25% and 50% depending on load and time rested.
