Only a good battery load test will tell you much about the auto battery condition. It should be
done with a fresh full charge and again after setting a couple of days with out recharging. There
shouldn't be much change between the two test results. If the battery test good on the first test
but poor on the second you have sulafication, the battery will not hold a charge. It is common in
older betteries or one that have been overcharged.
