Glenn:
There are a combination of tests, none as decisive as we might like: Load
the battery bank and test per cell voltage (more often we find warm
connections revealing related problems). Measure the at rest
voltage. Measure voltage over time at load. If you are serious about
this, establish base lines when batteries are new.
Good luck.

Good Holiday Season to all:
Does anyone have a sealed (gel & AGM) battery test/maintenance procedure
they would feel comfortable sharing with the group?
I have been tasked with creating one for our company now that we have more
than a couple of grid tied systems with battery backup.
Hate to re-invent the wheel with so much talent available here.
Thanks in advance!
