Something very important here has not been mentioned. The standard method to measure a 12V Battery is to discharge the fully charged battery at a constant rate down to 10.5 volts. If you have a 100AH battery, to measure the standard 20 hour AH rating you would apply a constant discharge of 5 amps and if the battery is 100% up to spec it will not reach 10.5V until 20 hours have passed. If you are measuring a 2 volt cell, you would draw it down to 1.75 volts.
