battery condition based on voltage reading
Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2013 11:17 am
Listers,
I think the same or similar info was posted in 2008. Below is the
original post pulled from my files.
This info is for battery condition and not charging system condition. Of
course you can't check a charging system if the battery isn't fully
charged and in good condition.

The below information was recently posted to the airheads list. It was
first posted there 10 years ago. I thought some of you may find it
useful.

This is from the Jan-Feb issue of Solar Today; a magazine aimed at those
"off the grid". Seems to fit with our current (and perennial) discussion
of batteries and charging systems. You do need a digital voltmeter, the
readings are at 70 degrees F and are for lead-acid batteries. You want
to wait about 15 minutes or more after charging the battery or running
the bike to allow the "surface charge" to disappate. I put this table on
a little card and keep it with the VOM.
