Please I am need to know, if you buy battery from some 1 how can u tell if it is been used or brand new using an electric multimeter?

For example if some one sold me a battery he used it for 1 year already,

if I test it it will give me the same voltage & everything,

But

when I use it I will find out that it does not hold charge for more than couple of hours

So how can I test it since beginning if it has been consumed or not?

Very important

I would appreciate if you can help me out

Thanks a lot

The battery by then will probably be tapped out and not hold very much of a charge, just replace the battery.

so what happens if you recharge it more than 400 times??????????
