They should outlaw battery hydrometers, they are dangerous, and serve no useful purpose whatsoever !
Only if used for enema's before rinsing out.
Having tested thousands of Sears Diehards with them for Sears Roebuck in the 1970's for the acid test of good or fail, I would beg to differ with you.
A Freas #1 was my number one tool to quick and dirty fail a battery, with points variance between cells being exceeded in a given range, or see if more testing was needed with a carbon pile resistance test.
By far, the most efficent method of testing... screw driver and Freas, and in 30 seconds, you had an answer as to the state of charge and condition of all the cells. I should have had a tool belt with a holster /bags for a Freas and a screw driver, I was a quick draw artist with those two item. Pissed a lot of customers off when I told them their battery was still good, look somewhere else in their electrical system for issues, and that further testing, for a fee, was involved to trouble shoot further. .
