Balmar smart gauge and 10 hour AH testing
So this guy was selling an open box Balmar smart gauge on fleabay. They are expensive and I go by voltage to gauge my batterys by that. Well he had a make offer price so I lowballed @ $140. He didnt ...

You will eventually realize that all of your measuring gizmos will not align, perfectly. When you get new batteries, I'd suggest to familarize yourself with gizmos, choose the one that is the easiest to read, and rely on that. With new batteries, you'll be able to determine a baseline SG with a full charge. You can use that EZ Red as a reference to SG but don't depend on it for accurate measurement.
FWIW, I have a fairly good glass tube temp compensated hydrometer but it's not a Freas. The Freas Glass Works makes probably the only lab grade glass tube hydrometer. Also, all of my individual voltage meters and my Fluke handheld meter are with .01 V of each other. I like to use the Simpson analog meter for voltage measurement at a glance. That needle is big and easily visible from many angles.
Good luck with gizmo alignment!
