I am trying to get a ruff indication of the condition of a battery used in Automatic Gates and Alarms.
The battery capacity is 7 Ah and charged to 13.8 volts.
I used a Load of 36R 5 Watts across the terminals to apply a load.
The battery voltage dropped to 12.3 Volts. The information I read indicated that if the battery was a minimum of 12.1 Volts it was ok.
What I am trying to find out is from that voltage what is the actual capacity of the battery. If that's possible.
This will help me determin possibly how much longer to expect from the battery.
