Can you test a lead acid battery with a hydrometer?
Checking an open-cell lead acid battery—that is, a lead acid battery with caps that can be opened to access the liquid inside—with a battery hydrometer is most accurate when the battery is fully charged. Closed-cell lead acid batteries without the access caps cannot be tested this way.
How do you check a lead acid battery?
Fortunately, you can easily do a basic health checkup on any type of lead acid battery by hooking it up to a simple-to-use digital voltmeter. If you have an open-cell battery that lets you access the liquid inside, you can do a more rigorous checkup with a battery hydrometer. Charge the battery fully, then let it rest for 4 hours.

In this video, applications engineer Barry Bolling uses a GS610 source measure unit to perform a charge-discharge test on a lead acid battery to show how to test lead acid battery capacity. The GS610 is made up of a programmable current and voltage source, a voltmeter, and an ammeter. Each function can be combined into numerous operation modes.
How long should a lead acid battery be charged before testing?
Charge the battery fully at least 8 hours before testing it. Lead acid batteries recharge in various manners based on their function and manner of installation. For a lead acid vehicle battery, drive the vehicle around for at least 20 minutes. For a lead acid battery connected to solar panels, let the battery charge fully on a sunny day.
How do you know if a lead-acid battery is healthy?
To get a more accurate reading of a lead-acid battery’s health, you can use a hydrometer. This tool measures the specific gravity of the electrolyte solution within the battery, which can give you a better idea of its state of charge and overall condition. Before using a hydrometer, it’s important to make sure the battery is fully charged.
How do lead acid batteries recharge?
