AGM Battery Capacity?
I want to measure the capacity of AGM batteries, I have monitoring equipment in my camper, Trimetric monitor. However that only reads the voltage as my solar charges the system and then as the vo...

Concorde LIFELINE has a FREE AGM manual online to download.
It lists an exact method*, and recipe to determine battery CAPACITY meaning available kWh of the battery at maximum storage. It's like maximum RPM or miles per hour in a car. It is absolute. Unless you lie, cheat or allow yourself to be cheated.
I wrote long ago here on this forum about HOW HARD it is to determine an AGM battery's TRUTHFUL state of charge along with how hard it is to get a grip on the DEGRADATION either through misuse or age of a VRB (sealed battery).
A simple wall meter does not cut-it. Because no "affordable" amp hour meter I know of has kWh capability, in a capacity = a large battery. Even with kWh a person has to LEARN the significance of what they are reading.
I'll give you an idea. My laptop. 90% battery time remaining, is almost accurate 50% time remaining makes my eyes roll. 30% time remaining is a cruel joke - I have MINUTES to plug in or shut down. Get the drift?
