fully operational
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

You can tell your car battery is fully charged by checking the voltage with a multimeter; a fully charged battery should read around 12.6 volts or higher. If your car has a built-in battery management system, it may provide indicators or alerts when the battery is fully charged. Additionally, if the battery has a built-in hydrometer, a green indicator often signifies a full charge. Lastly, after charging, the battery should start the engine without any issues.
12.5 volts
No it will have high conductance
Yes, the battery is fully charged.
To check the specific gravity of acid in a car battery, you'll need a hydrometer. First, ensure the battery is fully charged and then carefully remove the vent caps. Insert the hydrometer into the electrolyte solution, squeezing the bulb to draw in the liquid, and then release it to allow the float to settle. Read the specific gravity measurement on the scale; a higher value typically indicates a fully charged battery, while a lower value suggests it's discharged.
With a fully charged battery (12.68 volts) and engine running at idle with no accessories on, 14.5 volts. You will not get a accurate reading if the battery is not fully charged.
Test the battery with a digital voltmeter. You should get a reading of 12.6 V if the battery is fully charged. If the battery is fully charged then you know the alternator is functioning properly and your problem is more than likely a defective starter.
