Measuring System Voltage
Bleed the surface charge from the battery by turning the
headlights on for 1 minute. Measure the voltage across
the battery terminal with the lights off. When possible,
individual cell specific gravity should be checked with a
hydrometer. A load test should be done to indicate battery
performance under load. Voltage tests only tell the state
of charge, not the battery condition. To measure system
voltage:
