What type of test is needed to check if the battery might have been abused in the past? Asking for friend.
good info for 12V starting batteries and maybe marine/rv but not really valid for a GC2 battery. One, GC2 seldom if every have a CCA rating to use as a benchmark, Next They have a few very thick plates to much more internal resistance than a starting or marine battery. End result is if you try to load them to the typical load test, results in almost all cases will be "fail" even on brand new GC2. Unless the GC2 mfg gives a recomended load test current.
My experience is that loading a GC2 to between 1/2 and rated rated AH (60-100A on a typical GC2) gives some valid info,
I don't see anywhere that he mentioned a GC2.
