Depends on which gauge I am looking at. The SunExplorer solar controller still reported 60-65% by morning, but the Magnum and SE voltage readout was down to 12.0v. My understanding from the LifeLine voltage curves is that 12.0v corresponds to about 50% Depth of Discharge. I'm going with the voltage measurements as being more reliable.
The van was ordered new from the factory. Hasn't been sitting around, and we have maintained charge with shore power in storage. So in theory batteries should be good.
