To properly test your battery you need a hydrometer and a good battery load tester. From here on always take a hydrometer with you to check any battery you buy new for dead cells. We went through 6 batteries from three different auto supply stores before one got a battery with three good cells!!! Usually if it’s three good cells then it will pass the load tester!!
But you can check your current battery for proper electrolytes level and with a hydrometer and know where you stand with it.
