Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid batteries must be tested every three years. In cases where backup power is unavailable, an on-line capacity test can be performed. In this type of test, the regular substation load is connected to the battery string, and is continuously monitored.
Several existing techniques for predicting the remaining capacity of a lead-acid battery discharged with a variable current are based on variants of Peukert's empirical equation, which relates the available capacity to a constant discharge current.
For the performance test, a constant current method is generally used where a constant current specified by the manufacturer is applied for an accompanying specified time. Battery manufacturers publish tables that include different discharge rates specified for different periods of time.
Scope: This guide contains a field test procedure for lead-acid batteries used in PV hybrid power systems. Battery charging parameters are discussed with respect to PV hybrid power systems. The field test procedure is intended to verify the battery’s operating setpoints and battery performance.
Although many tests can be performed to assess the condition of the batteries such as ohmic testing, specific gravity, state of charge etc., only the capacity test, commonly referred to as the discharge or load test, can measure the true capacity of the battery system and in turn determine the state of heath of the batteries.
During the test it is measured how much capacity (current x time expressed in Ah) the battery can deliver before the terminal voltage drops to the end of discharge voltage x number of cells. The current shall be maintained at a constant value.

Fast Health State Estimation of Lead–Acid Batteries Based on
Lead–acid batteries are widely used, and their health status estimation is very important. To address the issues of low fitting accuracy and inaccurate prediction of traditional lead–acid battery health estimation, a battery health estimation model is proposed that relies on charging curve analysis using historical degradation data. This model does not require the …
