Actually A "12" volt battery produces 12 to 14 volts at almost any charge %, even though your guage showes the charge in volts, Its actually amperes that get reduced in batterys.,,,,,,,, 80% should be sufficient charge to start A vehicle that is in good condition.
Volts. 12.6 volts = Full Charge 12.4 volts = 75% Charge 12.2 volts = 50% Charge 12.2 volts = 25% Charge
12.6 volts at 100% charge 12.4 volts at 75% charge 12.2 volts at 50% charge 12.0 volts at 25% charge
12.6 volts 100% charge 12.4 volts 75% charge 12.2 volts 50% charge 12.0 volts 25% charge Any less and the battery is essentially dead.
As read from the battery with a digital volt meter with engine off. 12.6 volts = 100% charge 12.4 volts = 75% charge 12.2 volts = 50% charge 12.0 volts = 25% charge
100% charge = 12.6 volts 75% charge = 12.4 volts 50% charge = 12.2 volts 25% charge = 12.0 volts
A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. A battery reading 12.4 volts is 75% charged. 12.2 volts = 50% charge, 12.0 = 25% charge. You should use a battery charger to charge any battery reading less than 12.4 volts before installing it on the vehicle.
Yes, a battery with only a 25% charge will read 12 volts. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts.
A fully charged 12 volt battery with engine not running, ignition off will read 12.6 volts at 100% charge. 12.4 volts at 75% charge. 12.2 volts at 50% charge. 12.0 volts at 25% charge.
Your question needs clarification. Car battery, Cell phone battery, camera battery, etc. Question was posted in car batteries category. You can check it with a digital volt meter car not running. Set the meter to 20 volts DC. Here is what you will see. 12.6 volts = 100% charge 12.4 volts = 75% charge 12.2 volts = 50% charge 12.0 volts = 25% charge
A fully charged 12 volt automobile battery will read 12.6 volts with the engine not running and 13.5 to 15.5 volts with the engine running. It will read 12.4 volts with a 75% charge, 12.2 volts with a 50% charge and 12.0 volts indicates a 25% charge.
With the engine off check the voltage at the battery. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. At 75% charge it will read 12.4 volts, 12.2 at 50% charge, and 12.0 volts at 25% charge. Now start the engine and check the voltage at the battery. It should read 13.5 to 15.5 volts if the alternator is working properly.
