Very descriptive I am relatively familiar with batteries and testing. One thing that was left out is what would be the minimum voltage of batteries under load, and minimum voltage open circuit
just curious I just got a second battery for my gate opener, does it draw power from both batteries at the same time or does it drain one batter first then the next battery second?
In the vast majority of gate openers they will pull from both batteries at the same time. Keep in mind that new and old batteries should not be mixed, a bad old battery can pull down the new one and overwork the charging circuit on the control board. don't risk $400.00 CONTROL BOARD TO SAVE $40.00. Also keep in mind if you are plugged in and don't need the extra capacity only use one battey, otherwise you are just adding an extra component that can fail without any benefit.

Under load testing what readings would be unacceptable for a battery ? A follow vid up on testing batteries under load would be a great 👌
Hi! It depends on the gate opener since they have different amounts of power. For specific information, what opener do you have? Thanks!
Great, wonderfully clear. Thank you
How long should I wait for an off the self battery to full charge before using my gate
