Voltages Leisure Battery.
« on: September 08, 2009, 10:03:30 pm »

Just wondering what voltage range Leisure batteries work in, is it 12v to 14v?

I'm looking for a simple gauge that I can wire in that can tell me when to charge the battery.

Best to charge them up every evening rather than let them run to low IMO

I dont know if this is what you mean but have a look at this.

"In practice it is better to never let your battery discharge to less than 80 per cent of its capacity."

"Check the state of charge using a direct current voltmeter – 12.7 volts indicates a fully charged battery, 12.3 volts it’s half discharged and anything less than 11.8 volts the battery has fully discharged."

Those two quotes where taken from the following web page.

I charge my battery every day as well. Keep it as close to 100% as i can.
