I'm sure this is a pretty basic question but I was trying to measure my battery's charge level with my voltmeter and when placing the voltmeter pins on the larger terminals on the battery, I get a reading of 12.43. Then when I place the pins on the smaller threaded terminals that typically have the load wires screwed on, I get a reading of 12.2.
Both reading were taken with the battery disconnected and no load on it, about a minute apart, on a standard 12v deep cycle. Why the discrepancy? Which is the accurate way to take the reading - off the threaded terminals, or the larger ones?
