Testing battery
I am trying to test my 6 volt batterys and I have a hydrometer! My problem the directions tell you the readings for 12 volt batterys What do you do for 6 volt???

My electric panel shows 12.3 in house 6 volt batterys and my load tester says the same but highdrometer says each cell is 11.9 and needs to be charged ! What gives?

Batteries are not considered "fully charged" at any voltage below 12.6 volts.
At 12.3 volts the "State of Charge" of your batteries is between 60% and 70%.
(That's why the hydrometer indicates they need to be charged).
