STATE OF CHARGE
The state of charge of a battery can be easily check in one of two ways:

1) Specific Gravity Test

2) Open Circuit Voltage Test

Note 1: A state of charge test is required to determine if there is sufficient charge in the battery to properly perform a capacity test (explained later).

Note 2: The only exception to this is the MIDTRONICS Battery Tester. This new state of the art capacitance tester will be discussed later in this module.
