		  Greetings,



 This isn't a relevant question for modern aircraft but I think the membership of this list will likely know so I hope I don't bother anyone by posting here.



 If you have a rarely used car with a traditional flooded cell lead-acid battery and keep an eye on the battery voltage, at what voltage should it be recharged to maintain a normal life?Â  My old jeep has a small load while parked so the battery slowly drains and it is neither convenient for me to disconnect the battery nor keep a maintainer connected.Â  If I charge it back up with my smart chargerÂ before the (nominally 70deg f) battery voltage drops to say, 12V will I still get full life out of the battery? 	


  that would be a good milestone for initiating

  a top-off charge.  You could probably let it

  go lower but keeping it above 12v will improve

  longevity.
