Re: CBA III Settings for 12V FRC battery testing
10.5 will help avoid damage to the lead-acid battery. You can test down to 9.6 volts, but in FRC I do not think you will get any additional data as to battery condition from doing that.

I advise using the data comparatively: That is, don't sweat the "actual" Ah rating, but use the results to compare one battery to another. After you test a few you will get a feel for what is "normal" and what isn't.
