EVERY ELECTRIC CAR OWNER NEEDS THIS DEVICE!
I HELP EV OWNERS SELECT ANALYZERS, TOO.

Do you suspect that your electric vehicle's batteries have a residual capacity (AH) that is less than 70%, perhaps even as low as 40%, of their original rated capacities?
If so, you will need a very good quality and on-spec Battery Capacity Tester that has a gel, AGM, or flooded battery setting to determine each battery's AH.
IMHO, the "capacitance" type of battery testers can be fooled (inaccurate).
However, the $30 "load testers" can only give a go/no-go indication. Furthermore, the "load tester" reduces the charge of the battery under test.
Good quality (accurate) electronic battery quasi-load testers start at around $500, imho.
If you do a capacity test on your batteries, you might be surprised.
I have several battery Capacity Testers (different technologies and algorhythms) and each battery load tester model gave a different, even from the same manufacturer. From the photo, you can see that I own two Intelligent Battery Testers, a NAPA, and a SPX-OTC "car industry standard" tester.
FYI ..
[text below pertains to 12V batteries, so divide by two, if you have 6V batteries]
Oddly enough, the lightbulb test is inaccurate imho because that test is usually terminated at 10.5V according to battery makers. I think it should be terminated at 11.8V, which is the voltage that controllers no longer work, or if controllers work, they just barely work.I
I once returned Exide Sonnenschein gels (like yours perhaps?) to a battery retailer. Initially, the retailer refused to refund me, saying that the lightbulb test said the batteries were OK. I showed him my tests with my NAPA digital capacity tester. Then, he countered that he had an "industry standard" digital tester that was more accurate than my NAPA. Then, he put my returned batteries on his "industry standard" capacity tester -- they failed. Then, I finally got my refund!
FYI, IMHO, there is a vaporware battery capacity tester on the Internet that claims that their tester uses a technology (full of graphs) that are accurate in tests where other brands are inaccurate. That vaporware tester isn't sold yet -- it has been in alpha and beta testing (made here in BC, Canada) and has not yet been released on the market. Personally, I don't think [although I have no proof] that the said vaporware battery tester isn't tested enough, from what I know about battery companies here.
How to select the most accurate Battery Capacity Tester for gel, AGM, and SLA (sealed lead acid batteries.)
BECAUSE I OWN DIFFERENT BRANDS AND MODELS OF BATTERY CAPACITY METERS (AKA BATTERY ANALYZERS), I was able to see how each model (every maker uses a different algorhythm)reacted to different battery types, such as gel, AGM, "silicon", Hawker, and flooded.
Because they are not true carbon-pile load-testers, each electronic battery analyser can be fooled! Yes, there is a way to make some manual compensation calculations.
Here's just an opinion: In addition, if you want to get really fancy about battery testing, you might also consider a RIM-1000 Battery Internal-Resistance Tester from Germany, which does not use the same method as the Midtronics (tm) battery-conductance meters.

* Check our REVIVED BATTERY ELECTRIC PICKUP TRUCK, which is the world's biggest "load tester". This is the world's first 'free battery' licensed pickup truck that is in daily use. It uses dead batteries that have been rejuvenated back to life. In some cases (as the TV newscrew suggested, see Youtube video clip) to more power than the original battery rating.
