There are 3 ways
Best. for flooded wet cells. Hydrometer Measure the specific gravity and consult the chart.
Easiest for all: Voltage. RESTING voltage at least 30 minutes of no current flow
Hardest but 2nd best is a computer that tracks every fraction of an amp hour in and out of the battery and is properly calibrated .
The problem with this is as the batteries age capacity changes and the computer needs re-calibration.
