1st Battery Capacity complete

[Pass me]

Hey ubet, I took a voltmeter more out of curiosity than anything when I replaced my Frontier battery awhile back. FYI I buy @ Costco, checked 3 batteries & they were all the same. Their battery stock doesn't sit around it seems, lol.
As an aside I wish I'd kept that Frontier battery to see if I could have salvaged it. Would have made a good bench battery.

It might be interesting to buy a brand new battery and run the same tests.

Brand new battery plates are not completely formed yet, takes some cycling to get them to 100%. So I would expect a new battery to come up short on a capacity test and incrementally increase with subsequent cycling.

Ive mostly used C/5 in the past so ubet, best start there (maybe 5A more) to figure best bang for the buck generator wise.
