A fully charged lead-acid battery should have a voltage of around 12.8 volts. If the voltage drops below 12.4 volts, the battery needs to be recharged. Internal resistance is also an important factor to consider. A battery with high internal resistance will have difficulty delivering power, which can result in poor performance.
The load current for a small battery is 1A or less; for a starter battery it might be 50A or more. A voltmeter measures the open circuit voltage (OCV) with no load, followed by the second reading with a load; Ohm’s law calculates the resistance value (voltage difference divided by current equals resistance).
The resistance of modern lead acid and lithium-ion batteries stays flat through most of the service life. Better electrolyte additives have reduced internal corrosion issues that affect the resistance. This corrosion is also known as parasitic reactions on the electrolyte and electrodes.
Lead-acid batteries are highly sensitive to temperature. Testing should ideally be conducted at room temperature to ensure accurate results. Extremely high or low temperatures can skew the results of voltage, capacity, and resistance tests. To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to perform battery testing at regular intervals.
