Default Quick battery question

On the info center under the sink, what do the battery letters stand for? I figured C = Charged, G = Good, and L = Low, but what is F? Am I right about the rest?

Cool "F" stands for "Fair" condition.

I never looked to verify the minimum Voltages to make them light up - I've got an explicit, very accurate display on the front of my Solar Charge Controller, and I always look there when I'm curious (it's inside, underneath the dining table).

The "C" Display means that Voltage corresponds to "Batteries Being Charged", it probably lights up at something above 13.0 Volts. "G" is "Good", probably lighting up at around 12.7 Volts.The others mean "Fair" and "Low", and I've got no idea - I'll SWAG them to be light up around 12.4 and 11.8 Volts, respectively. "Low" could "light up" much lower, perhaps as little as 6-8 Volts (showing that "something is there, but your battery is already ruined"). That would be kinda useless, so I'm guessing it to require a minimum near 11.8 Volts.

Its not very accurate. "F" I would good with fair. That is the point I would be check my voltage with a meter. Most likely about as low as you want to go without damaging or reducing the battery life.
