Hey there, for this circuit here: **broken link removed** (a 12v SLA battery monitor) I need to know the maximum and minimum voltages of the battery I'm using (essentially its voltage when fully charged and its voltage when flat).
The circuit is already preset for a range between 11.89-12.65 volts. However, the battery I have (this one: https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2008/12/20085271025189043-2.pdf) has a fully charged voltage of 13.15v (I think...this could be wrong, but it's at least this much), so I will need to adjust resistors at pin 4 as per the circuit's blurb on the website.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what the "flat" voltage of the battery is and do not want/can't be bothered discharging it to measure it (especially as I was under the impression it's bad to fully discharge SLAs). Would anyone be able to tell me or hazard a fairly accurate guess at the minimum voltage of my battery? Thanks.
