				 Battery testing? 
 
			
			I have 2x SRM27 (85Ah) flooded batteries approximately 5 yrs old on my sailboat. I wish to test their remaining Ah capacity by applying a fixed
 current load and monitoring the terminal voltage over time.
 Question: I believe the Interstate table of voltage vs state of charge
 is open circuit voltage, if this is true then I would have to interrupt
 the discharge periodically in order to measure the o/c voltage then
 resume the load until I have achieved 1/2 remaining Ah.
 Does anyone have a more direct test of remaining Ah capacity?
