The 12volt Side of Life
The 12volt Side of Life (Part 1)
http://marxrv.com/12volt/12volt.htm
Welcome to the page of all things 12 Volt! The information here was either excerpted from various sources on the web and in the public domain, or results directly from my personal experience. When researching battery specs for this page, I was amazed at the wide variance in some of the information. ---CONTINUED---

OK, now that you know all about batteries and charging, lets put some of that stored energy to use. There are a lot of things that you can do to make your RV home more comfortable and energy efficient. There are even a few projects illustrated to spur your creative urges. ---CONTINUED---

Hat Tip: 
to rick1, over at EHP-D:
For those of you that have a solar system with 12 volt batteries, no matter if they are car batteries, deep cell marine batteries, agm batteries or lithium batteries, when is the battery fully charged, half charged, etc..
From modernsurvivalblog.com, here's a chart on the voltage of batteries when charged or when they are dead:
Battery State-Of-Charge Chart | 12 Volt Battery Voltage & Specific Gravity
https://modernsurvivalblog.com/alternative-energy/battery-state-of-charge-chart/
The ‘State Of Charge’ (SOC) of a battery is a measurement of how much energy is remaining (percent). It’s like a fuel gauge. Measuring and knowing the SOC of a battery or battery-bank is useful when applying towards alternative energy, or any other situation where you need to know its condition. ---CONTINUED---
