Did it again. When I wrote 'nothing' I meant nothing in excess of the standard parasitic draw of whatever's going on in the coach to keep stuff alive.
Thank you for taking the time to explain what you understood from my post.
I consider anything above and beyond as excess demand and try to account for it (mentally) in my readings- ran the inverter to charge the laptop and phone and that's where the 'draw' came from.
The batteries have been at rest no less than 10 minutes when making observations. Sometimes an hour or more. I have data if you want it.
When we were talking about the 12.7, Bob posed a question about being at 12.8 as being 'good to go'. If I understand this statement correctly, I have to know the gravity more than the voltage? I have a hydrometer. (re: "If the true SOC of your battery is reflected by 12.4 VDC then any voltage measured above 12.4 VDC would also be due to a capacitive charge and would quickly dissipate down to the voltage for the batteries' true chemical SOC.")
If there's any info I can supply that will help you help me better, don't hesitate to ask. If I can't give it to you, I'll say so.
Take care.
