Battery questions

For the past several months I've been running my van with no
alternator. How low should I let it get before charging the
battery? I've just recently started monitoring it with a tester.
It started today at 12.66V, and after starting the engine
twice was down to 12.50V, then after one more it was at
12.47 or something like that. How low to let it go? If I put
it on charge too soon, will it "develop a memory" by burning
out cells,or whatever happens when they turn to junk like
that?

Thanks,

Charge it. It's not a nickel cadmium battery. Why not replace the
alternator?
