Be a little careful here. You are looking for data between 11.9 volts and 12.4 volts. The typical analog meter will not be accurate enough for this purpose.
Without a very good digital meter, the data isn't going to be valid.

I should add that it's not an issue with a good battery. I can start the SD after sitting for 60 days without a problem.
