Look for a thread: the 12 volt side of life. http://bart.ccis.com/home/mnemeth/12volt/12volt.htm. 12.6= 100% charge
Avoid going below 40% charge or 11.9 V. Must be off battery charger for 3hrs with no load or charge. Converters in the RV are a poor compromise in place of a good battery charger.. Better to purchase a good 3 stage charger. 1st stage would be 10.5 to 15V. Then 2nd stage 14.2 then 3rd stage 13.3 to 14.2. At least you could use this in winter, also a Battery Minder for maintenance. That way you leave home with fully charged battery, + they last longer. My 2 cents worth
