^ when I do EOC I bump start the car 90% of the time to avoid further 12V drain from engaging the starter. LED headlights cut headlight draw in half. I still see 12.3v every now and then, and sometimes 12.2v, but most of the time it never goes below 12.5v.

A deep cycle battery, either AGM, lithium or maybe a supercap setup, is in the works when my almost new 12V goes bad down the road.
