In my experience, 10.5 to be functional. But that is really pushing it.
In my line of work, if I suspect a battery, I charge and service it with
distilled water, check the voltage and check again in 24 hours of sitting.
If its lower than 11.5, its a gonner. A specific gravity check would work,
but we never can find one aroung the shop.
Black stuff under the caps is a sure sign of a dieing battery. Heavy
sulfation (white flakes) is a bad sign, especially if large flakes are
resting on the separator plates (the taller fins underwater.)
