Most batteries today are sealed so a hydrometer is useless. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts with a digital volt meter. At 75% charge it will read 12.4 volts, at 50% it will read 12.2 volts and at 25% charge it will read 12 volts. But if you have another type battery then here is what you need to know. A fully charged golf cart battery or fork lift battery will read 1300 A fully charged auto or truck battery will read 1275 A fully charge cell phone tower or solar storage battery will read 1250

A fully charged 12 volt battery will read about 12.6 volts, or 2.1 volts per cell.
6.4
Yes, a battery with only a 25% charge will read 12 volts. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts.
Depends how flat it is and the capacity of the charger and also capacity of the battery. A 6 volt battery fully charged should read about 6.5 to 7 volts when fully charged.
If you need to jump start the car then the battery may be fully charged but it is defective and needs replacing. A full charged battery will read 12.6 volts at the posts with the engine not running. 12 volts indicates the battery is only 25% charged.
It is a 12 volt battery. Fully charged it will read 12.6 volts with a digital volt meter.

You bet you can. That is why it is always advisable to use an automatic charger that shuts off when the battery is fully charged. If you do not have one then charge it for a couple of hours and then remove the charger and check the voltage at the battery. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts. 12.4 at 75% charge, 12.2 at 50% charge, and 12 Volts at 25%. If it is not fully charged then put the charger back on a little longer.
You should read 12.6 volts with a digital volt meter on a fully charged battery with the engine not running.
That depends on the battery, and the charger. my charger has different settings for higher amps to give a faster charge or jump. A fully charged battery will show 12.6 volts. The charger will read it's maximum amperage if the battery is totally discharged. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts with a digital DC volt meter. If it reads 12 volts it has less than 25% charge.
