I recently replaced my two Interstate SRM27 (85ah) with SRM27X (105ah)
and would like a non-destructive test of their ah capacity. I propose
using and inverter to load each battery at 10A and measure the
terminal voltage with a usb data-logger. Interstate give a table of o/
c voltage vs SOC  from -17.8C to 48.9C however I don't want to wait
for the terminal voltage to recover to these o/c values before taking
the next sample. I have been told that measuring SG is more reliable
but I can't do that with a simple data-logger and anyway I think some
wait for H2SO4 diffusion to subside would still be needed. Anyone have
a SOC vs on load table? Hans Kroeger where are you?

SOC vs load (and temperature) are not going to be generic because
IR drop is highly dependent on particular battery design.

And even if you would measure profile for a particular design "new"
battery, impedance changes very fast with aging, so your IR drop
will quickly become different enough to throw off the calculation.
For that reason, accurate capacity gauges (such as impedance track
series)
are actually measuring IR drop and adjusting it for aging.
