To preserve the life of your battery, charge it as frequently as possible. If it's doing little work (12.5v) then maybe think about trickle charging via a solar panel.

I have an electric van so I just plug the van and the battery in to charge every evening when I get home. I have an extension lead coiled up in the van by the door so just run it to the outside plug socket.

The correct time to take a voltage reading across the battery to determine its charge state after 4 hours of rest.

If your battery is reading 12.5v after this time then the battery is about 75% charged. As @Solarpanelcleanington says, you need to keep it charged up fully as often as possible for longevity.

12.7v or above = fully charged

12.5v = 75% charged

12.4v = 50% charged

12.2v = 25% charged

12.0v or under = discharged
