Our voltages indicated at GRT while powering avionics will be less than actual battery OCV. I have an aux battery(pc680) that once recharged in flight, gets disconnected from main bat(pc925) and is then my backup plan. A voltage indication of 12.0 V in flight is actually about 12.3 OCV. This leaves enough capacity to power main bus back up for landing lights, strobes, boost pump and flaps for landing. All my avionics can run on aux battery at least one hour to get me back on the ground.
