I think I'd still want to connect a good charger and see how long it takes to get a "fully charged" indication......or on an older low capacity charger with a meter, to see how long it is for the charging current to level off at a low level.

As long as the charging voltage stays above the nominal battery voltage (12.6) with everything on HIGH, then you should be OK......until you get caught in traffic!! Judicious use of the controller should keep you out of trouble.
