You will need a digital voltmeter. Set the voltmeter to 20 volts DC. Check it with the probes.
1. 12.68 Volts = 100% Charge
2. 12.45 Volts = 75%
3. 12.24 Volts = 50%
4. 12.06 Volts = 25%
5. 11.89 Volts = 0%

How can you check your car battery with a voltmeter?
With the engine off check the voltage at the battery. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. At 75% charge it will read 12.4 volts, 12.2 at 50% charge, and 12.0 volts at 25% charge. Now start the engine and check the voltage at the battery. It should read 13.5 to 15.5 volts if the alternator is working properly.
What are the results of a voltmeter test of a battery and its state of charge?
A fully charged battery will show 12.6 volts if the car is not running. If it's running it will show between 13.5 & 15.5 volts. You will need a digital DC volt meter to test it. A reading of 12.4 V indicates the battery is at 75% charge 12.2 volts and it is at 50% charge 12 V indicates it is at 25% charge.
How long should you charge a 12volt RC car battery?
I recommend you use an automatic charger but if you do not have one and the battery is fully discharged then click the link and insert the battery capacity in mAh and the charge rate in mA to determine the amount of hours to charge the battery.
What determine the direction of flow of charge?
Electro motive Force(E.M.F) of a battery determine the direction of Flow of Charges.
91 dodge stealth having trouble starting it will push start and alternator builds power until headlights work but if you stop the car it wont start again any ideas?
You need a new battery or it has a battery cable connection problem. The battery needs a full charge too - like driving around for an hour to charge it back up. A voltmeter is useful to read battery voltage when cranking. 12.6 volts =full charge. When cranking it may drop to 10 volts. If the starter won't turn over use the voltmeter to check for the 12 volts on the battery and then starter battery cable connection point.
Can you use a 12V 7ah battery to replace a 12V 5ah battery?
Yes, both batteries perform the same, but the 7ah battery holds more charge.
How do you determine if you have a bad alternator?
One obvious symptom is that your battery will not charge while driving.
What causes lights heater fans to dim or slow down with the motor running?
Weak battery not holding a full charge or alternator not supplying a suffient charge to the battery - check with a voltmeter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 without engine running Approx. 13.8-14.2 with engine running
99 ford ranger won't start not even a click it is a 5 speed?
Check your battery. Most likely the culprit is a dead battery. A quick check across its terminals with a voltmeter will tell you.
