Testing The Voltage Of Your Deep Cycle Battery

Before Testing Your AGM Deep-Cycle Battery


To ensure accuracy, it is recommended to test your battery's capacity when it is fully charged. However, if charging is not possible, wait for approximately an hour prior to testing. It is important to note that a phenomenon called "surface charge" can occur due to charging or discharging, which can affect the accuracy of the results. To eliminate the surface charge, leave the fully charged deep cycle battery unused for at least four hours before testing. Also, make sure that the battery is not connected to any devices or chargers during this time, as it can affect the data.


Testing The Battery's Voltage

 

You can test your deep cycle battery’s charge level in several ways. The most common methods use a multimeter, voltmeter, or watt meter. When you decide to test with a voltmeter, we recommend using a digital meter rather than an analogue meter as it will be more accurate in measuring millivolt differences.
