[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 508979, member: 22613"] Most "load testers" are testing for cranking amps, which is a mostly useless metric for deep cycle batteries, and the BMS will likely prevent you from doing one anyway. Fuzzygrub has outlined the best way to test their capacity. A couple of headlight bulbs and some way to measure DC current (clamp meter works fine, but most will only measure AC current) is all you need. Given the hassle of setting up a test tub, and putting wear on your trolling motor I would be hesitant to use it when there are much simpler ways to get same result. [/QUOTE]
