70-80%
(OP)
In a technical manual is it correct (preferred) to state 70 to 80%, 70-80%, 70% to 80% or 70%-80%? Internal arguments and personal preferrences have prolonged release of this document for this trivial matter.

In all of your examples (recognizing that they are presented out of context), it is not clear if 70% or 80% exactly would be acceptable.

RE: 70-80%
Isn't there some kind of convention that ranges are inclusive unless otherwise noted?

RE: 70-80%
If one adds the word range the ambiguity disappears. Right ?

The operator shall ensure % total liquids shall remain in the range >75%&<85%
RE: 70-80%
RE: 70-80%
70%...80%
The percentage sign belongs to the number, because what you are writing is actually:
70/100...80/100
If units are nedded, they would be placed at the end like this:
70...80 V.

I think in punctuation ..., ***, - marks indicating a pause, or omission of obviously understood words, are called ellipsis.
