That seems awfully low although mine could be set at low as 10.5vdc or as high as 12.5vdc
The Onan EC-30 Default is AUTO. Auto is kind of complex to explain because it is constantly learning based on how the batteries are being used, recharge etc. After just watching it for a while I learned that the AUTO generally would not kick on until it was down to 12vdc
So I went to manual and set it at 12.2vdc because that is 50% SOC for my then FLA batteries. It worked well, as I had barely just enough amps to get through the night, but when I bought the new pure AGM 135 amp vMax SLR tank batteries, I had more amp capacity than I really needed, so I have it set it up to the max which is 12.5vdc which is about 60% SOC for AGM batteries.
If it were me, I would never set my batteries to knowingly drain down below 12vdc (25% SOC), but maybe someone explain a good reason?
FWIW, the above is why I hear a lithium owner crow about Lithium's ability to drain down to 10%, It is of no value to me. Thus far in my coach, based on my usage, I have no issue being limited to drain down to 50%; your batteries will appreciate and you will also know your batteries are ways ready to go.
Few other little advantages;
1. I can fully recharge with genset or shore in 2 - 3 hours
2. I like to occasionally have my generator kick on with the automation to verify all is working like it should plus to me it is a good thing to let the genset run
3.
Note most of the time it comes on with automation anywhere to run the ACs
