If the tester shows 12.2 volts, the battery is half charged, and when you see 11.6 or 11.7, it means that you should definitely take measures to charge it: your battery is low.

If that voltage is 11.7,either the battery is over 100% discharged or their is a dead cell. To get a more correct picture, you can pry off the Delco eye and get a hydrometer

AI Customer ServiceVoltage then is a measure we can use to see if a battery is fully charged, but only if we know what the real voltage should be, not what is on the label. To stop charging a 12 volt
AI Customer ServiceA fully charged 12-volt battery should read around 12.6 volts. If the voltage drops below 12.2 volts, it is time to recharge your battery. What voltage is too low for a 12-volt battery? A 12-volt
AI Customer ServiceIn general, for a car battery with 12 volts, the state of charge is: 70% at 12.32 volts; 50% at 12.06 volts; 20% at 11.58 volts; Considered fully discharged at 10.5 minimum voltage. Next, let''s look at a simple test that can help your car
AI Customer ServiceResting, fully charged 12-volt batteries read at around 12.8-12.9 volts. Counterintuitively, a battery is dead at 12.0 volts (not zero). The minute you apply a load to a
AI Customer ServiceGenerally voltage at the battery (after 10-20 min of alternator charging) should be around 14.1~14.5v. If it''s more than 1-2v volts lower, then probably bad alternator function (which can be caused by a loose or
AI Customer ServiceA battery with one or more dead cells loses around 2.1 volts with each cell that has died. A battery with 1 dead cell therefore has a voltage of around 10.5 volts, 2 dead cells = 9.4 volts, etc. But usually once one cell goes
AI Customer ServiceWhat this does is dump full battery voltage directly into the solenoid so it can engage fully. If the car starts with the starter solenoid circuit relayed, it is telling you you have a

AI Customer Servicebattery voltage for fully charged is 12.6V-for starts you only have 12.3V is not fully charge.-if your battery is old enough (2years or so) it''s likely sulfated Battery drops to 10.5 volts after charging. 1. Battery voltage
AI Customer ServiceA charged battery voltage ranges between 12.6 and 12.8 volts, while a battery with 75% charge can drop to around 12.4 volts. Depending on certain factors, a voltage of 12.5 volts may be enough to start the engine.
AI Customer ServiceHow much the voltage drops depends on the type of battery. 12.6 volts or more: A voltage reading of over 12.6 volts indicates that your battery is fully charged and in good
AI Customer ServiceAs the battery was popping 11.7V on the terminals, which means the car was using the battery power to remain start! The required voltage to charge the battery and keep the car running is
AI Customer ServiceGenerally voltage at the battery (after 10-20 min of alternator charging) should be around 14.1~14.5v. If it''s more than 1-2v volts lower, then probably bad alternator function
AI Customer Service12.6 volts or more: A voltage reading of over 12.6 volts indicates that your battery is fully charged and in good condition, so there is nothing to worry about. 12.5 volts: A reading of 12.5 volts shows that your battery is healthy and 90%
AI Customer ServiceWhen the engine is off, a fully charged car battery should have a total voltage of around 12.6 to 12.8 volts. When the engine is running, the alternator increases the battery''s voltage to between 13.7 and 14.7 volts to

AI Customer ServiceBattery terminal voltage of 12.6 volts (green) shows 100% charge. A voltage of 12.3 indicates about 50% charge. A voltage around 11.7 shows battery only charged to 10%
AI Customer ServiceFor instance, a motorcycle that has been sitting idle for an extended period may have a battery voltage reading closer to 12.4 volts, indicating it is not fully charged. In
AI Customer ServiceAssuming it is a lead acid type battery, a 12 volt car battery is 100% charged if the voltage when not charging for a few hours, is higher than 12.72 volts. When the battery
AI Customer Service12V lead-acid/AGM/LiFePO4 battery voltage table chart 12.6 volts or more: A voltage reading of over 12.6 volts indicates that your battery is fully charged and in good condition, so there is nothing to worry about. 12.5 volts: A reading of 12.5 volts shows that your battery is healthy and 90% charged.
11.7 volts at rest is a NEAR FULLY DISCHARGED BATTERY as was stated earlier. Yes, the starter may try to turn at 11 or 12 volts BUT - and it's a big BUT - the battery may be sulfated and exhibit a very high internal resistance which prevents any significant current flow thru the starter system.
The normal car battery voltage, measured when the engine is off, should read 12.6 volts (known as resting voltage). Car batteries usually provide these 12.6 volts through six cells, each supplying around 2.1V. When the engine is running, the alternator takes over the task of supplying power and recharging the battery.
Yes, the starter may try to turn at 11 or 12 volts BUT - and it's a big BUT - the battery may be sulfated and exhibit a very high internal resistance which prevents any significant current flow thru the starter system. The graph below shows a state of charge estimation on a battery at rest - not under any load.
In general, for a car battery with 12 volts, the state of charge is: Considered fully discharged at 10.5 minimum voltage. Next, let’s look at a simple test that can help your car battery keep functioning properly. To check your car’s battery condition, you’ll need a battery tester, like a voltmeter or multimeter.
battery voltage for fully charged is 12.6V -for starts you only have 12.3V is not fully charge. -if your battery is old enough (2years or so) it's likely sulfated -if you have wet type battery please check your battery acid level.
