HI, I have kindly been lent a battery Tester, this registers the Voltage and amperage when running a motor, I am using it to go through and test the mountain of various battery's I have accumulated.
So My question is, when running the motor at full pelt and I try to stop the motor and I can quite easily do this with out ripping my fingers off, %% I am using a cloth) does this basically mean the battery is k-nackered, as I have tested a brand new one and it really try's to keep going where as some just stop.
Most battery's are the 7.2v 6 cell type and then 6 & 12v Lead acids.
Thanks
