⚙️ Detailed Car Battery Voltage Guide (UK)
Here’s a more granular view to help you diagnose common battery states:
| Voltage (V) | State of Charge | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 14.0 – 14.7V | Charging via alternator | Engine must be running |
| 12.6 – 12.8V | 100% charged | Ideal resting voltage (after engine is off) |
| 12.4 – 12.5V | ~75% charge | Usable but below ideal |
| 12.2 – 12.3V | ~50% charge | Low; recharge recommended |
| 12.0V | ~25% charge | May struggle to start engine |
| < 11.9V | Discharged | Battery considered flat |
| < 10.5V | Likely damaged | May not recover even after charging |
