How do you test a deep cycle battery with a carbon pile tester? My 6V Lifelines have a 220 Ah rating at a 20 Hr rate. Apparently 3x or 660 Ah should be used and the Clore Solar 1876, 1000 A carbon pile tester ($216 on Amazon) only goes to 320 Ah and hence is limited to 107 Ah batteries.
The Lifelines also have a 1095 CCA rating so can that be used instead? And what do you use for deep cycle batteries that don’t have CCA ratings?
