Battery Voltage?

[Cane Pole]

What would be the voltage reading of a 12V battery when the 12v trolling motor quits running? I have never checked this.

when a 12v batt reads below 11.8 or below via a DVM its considered fully discharged isn't it?

Is this a trick question

Suspicious eh.

I guess I,m a quiter--Never had that happen--Doh

Here's another useful chart:

The 10.1 was a check with no load and not having any load on the system for 15 minutes. I was also checking with a voltmeter on the terminals. The battery was starting to discharge rather quickly when being used during the course of the day. The battery charger failed and I managed to get a nice new experiment, with a 4 year old battery. I still don't trust the new battery charger and test the voltage before every outing.

The lowest I've ever gotten the TM batt down to is 10.1 and it was starting to get a little on the extreme slow side. I don't even know if an electric steer would be able to even turn once it was down in that range. Ah the interesting things you learn when both the battery and charger decide to die at the same time.

Was this the battery reading with a load or no load ?
