You can load test every 5 years or resistance check, yearly. We do resistance test because it doesn't stress batteries, but it is more expensive due to labor.

Load testing has come about due to regulations.

Again I am not against load testing,it is just not the first thing I do. I trouble shoot.

And what the blue f**k do those have to do with motorcycle batteries ?

Those are lead acid deep cycle storage batteries, how you test those is very different than how you would handle the typical AGM sealed mc battery. Two completely different systems.

It ain't all the same...

But I was not the one to share the Article on VLA batteries. So I shared a picture of batteries from that article I did not share.
