Re: (ET) new batteries

Darn, I don't have anything here which suggests any percentage.  Oddly, I 
have some documentation that relates SOC with open circuit voltage, but 
not 
with loaded voltage.  Sorry.  

In any case, your battery is reasonably safe from cell reversal as long as 
you keep the loaded voltage above 10.5 volts per 12v battery (1.75vpc).

As you maybe can guess, it's load dependent.  A battery that's flat at 100 
amps can still offer up some more energy if you reduce the load to 50 
amps, 
for example.
