Deep Cycle Battery Voltage Chart: A Comprehensive Guide

For example, a 12V lead-acid deep cycle battery at 100% capacity will have a voltage of around 12.7V, while a battery at 50% capacity will have a voltage of around 12.2V. By measuring the voltage of the battery and comparing it to the chart, you can estimate the remaining capacity of the battery.
