I talked to our battery guy yesterday. It is a destructive test. IMO no point to damage your battery unless you have reason to believe it is bad. It will reveal bad battery, but it may make replace a battery that you may have got more time out of it,

You use a tender so you don't damage the battery on a start. They make batteries they claim for that, like marine batteries. Wonder why they claim you need a special battery for draining?

For some reason on this forum, people are just into load testing batteries. I think it is just a simple thing to do, for people who have a simple grasp of electric.

Unless you have a reason to doiubt the battery, why damage it?

After going off on me on a rant, you seem to be looking at the floor over the battery discussion I brought up.

Doesn't negate what wrote. After your rant, that lacked any facts, just your typical, I am right you are wrong, no response to what I put up. You spewed a tyraid of emotion, but have not returned with anything of value.

Your definition works most of the time and there are probably exceptions to my definition too!

Wrong answer. Nonsense actually.
Maybe reread my post a couple times.

when you make an emotional rant, lacking any facts, please return later for an adult discussion.

At work we measure the resistance between cells for lead acid batteries. This avoids a destructive load test. Some will do a load test because it is cheaper than monitoring batteries.

Unfortunately we do not have this option with our batteries.

Again I avoid a destructive test, and would rather trouble shoot. But some people avoid trouble shooting, and do the load test.

A shop may not want to take time, or be able to trouble shoot
