It's 3 PM, your voltmeter reads 12.2v. You have minimal electrical loads, just the refrig and the CO and propane monitor. Do you recharge now, disconnect the battery for 4 hours and check the voltage (and hope the ice cream is still not melted), or wait until morning?
In 4 hours maybe the limit on generator noise will start. In the morning the voltage will be still lower. worry, worry, worry.
I guess you know my answer.
12.2 volts and 4 hours to go? I charge. When I'm dry camping in the winter I start charging as soon as we are up and about.
