Just wondering if any battery guru's can shed a little light on this topic.
I have a CenTech battery analyser. the type that measures internal resistance.

http://www.harborfreight.com/digital-automotive-battery-analyzer-66892.html

It compares voltage & internal resistance & comes up with a figure for a batterys CCA capacity.

I've tested it against new & known good batteries and the figures it comes up with seem pretty accurate.

But what about deep cycle batteries?
Is it possible to access their condition based on the voltage & internal resistance?
I know it's CCA figure is derived basically from a lookup table.

So what about say my Delcor DC-31?
5 minutes off the charger it showed about 12.9 volts & an internal resistance of 15.98 milliOhms.

Does anyone know much about what sort of internal resistance other types of batteries should have?

I'm doing a bit of Googling, but no real answers yet.

Cheers.
