    Running tests on a battery, when is it stuffed?

    You must charge at 14.4 then rest to 12.7,then a heavy load test to see how long it will hold before dropping to 12.2 after a rest,we used to have a tool for this in the trade which was tongs with a resister coil between and a meter. Here is the same thing in new cloths
