Not a good or reliable number. You may see things such as 13 V to 11.8 V.
It will vary due to Time after a change and Temperature. Check the
Specific Gravity (SG) of the electrolyte. And remember a aircraft battery
has a higher SG than a auto battery AND you also need to check the
Temperature when taking a reading.
I know, I know, checking the electrolyte is a dirty PITA. So, spend about
$65 and get a digital Load Meter that will give you Volts, Internal
Resistance and % of power in relation to the AH or CCA rating.

Or get a sealed Concorde battery and solve the problem.
