I once was but not anymore.
I will NOT, however, just throw something out on a total whim; I need at least a rough idea that it really is bad first.
How long it takes a "smart" charger to indicate a full charge is but one of the rough indicators you can use. The other main one for me is slower than "normal" cranking speed.
