Lead-Acid Batteries: Testing, Maintenance, and Restoration

To test a sealed lead acid battery, use a multimeter to measure its voltage. Ensure it''s fully charged and rested. Set the multimeter to DC voltage mode, then place the probes on the battery terminals. Readings below 12.6 volts may indicate the battery needs charging or replacing. Consult a professional if needed for further evaluation.
