It is low, but not unusual if measured off the cigarette lighter in our rigs
with all the old connections.  Best to measure voltage right at the battery,
where it should be at least 14v (with engine running of course). If less,
your alternator isn't up to snuff for the work it's being asked to do.

Always nice to have a SNZ function when you"re driving.  11.7 volts seems
kinda low tho.  Just saying...
