Next Steps
We will check discovered that the water levels in this battery and if they are low, we will top up with distilled water.Ok, so the water levels were very low. Added distilled water about 1/4" above the plates.
(It's hard to visually see the water level. Perhaps we could use a stick or something next time to check the level.
While Testing:
@12.65V = 2498 mAh
Calculating based on 12.65 being about 90% capacity, then we would expect about 25Ah. Not quite the 80Ah it is supposed to have... wait and see.
