A poor mans load test @ home can be done very easily with a voltmeter hooked up @ the battery, observe the cranking volts when starting your ride
If the cranking volts drop below 10 volts, you can most often bet your battery is going South[/QUOTE]
When doing this: Touch the multimeter probes to the battery [I]posts[/I], not the terminals on the battery cable.
