Moo cows

A lot of us have homes we spend some time in. Discussions can be about any topic that may be of interest that you can think of... renovations, purchases, expenses, etc, etc

The reserve capacity is the bit that will tell you how much capacity could be stored in the battery when it was new, the number of minutes it could provide 25 amps until it is fully discharged. Half of that is the new battery capacity available until the magic 50% SOC is reached. Depending how old the battery is, how many times it has gone flat, how many times it has been left not fully charged, which way the wind is blowing and how you are holding your mouth at the time as to how much of that 50% is still available .... but the 12v while under load is a fair indication of the 50% SOC mark anyway :D
