12.9 volts upon arrival

mandt · June 2018

After driving for around 4 hours with my KIA Sorento and using the frig on battery mode I show up at the campsite and the meter reads 12.9 volts. Does this seem about right. My battery is a 12 volt agm 155 amp hours.

Was the Kia still running?

No the car was not running when I read the voltage reading.

What was your voltage to start?

That sounds good to me. At 12.9V I suspect you even had a little residual charge indicating that the battery was keeping up and even accepting a little juice from the tow vehicle.

On a recent trip I started at 12.6V, drove for ~2.5 hours with the fridge on DC, and arrived home with the battery at 12.4V.

12.9v is a fully charged state. BTW, what brand of battery do you have, 24 or 27 series?

Starting voltage was 12.4. Here is the battery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013LCIJHE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
