Re: [AFMUG] battery tester

[Adam Moffett via Af]

On the bench I've charged them fully, measured the voltage, then a put a 
known load on them for a set period of time and measured the voltage 
afterward.  Same idea.  Like you said....couldn't find an appropriate 
tester.

Telemetry.  Just watch the slope of the discharge voltage at night.  I 
have tried to use impedance meters several times at different 
companies and cannot get results that predict failures.
If you have a battery that should last several days, disconnect the 
solar panels and watch the telemetry.

Does anyone have a recommended battery tester for AGM and Gel 
batteries at solar sites?  I have batteries from 100AH to 225AH.  Most 
of the automotive models seem to be concerned with cold cranking amps, 
pretty irrelevant for us.
