I've seen 12v lead-acid batteries pass load tests with flying colors but fail Ahr capacity testing miserably.

Yes. We ahr test our batteries every year. Normally we only use the ones that have 10+ ah. We have a couple batteries from last year we are only using for practice, because we trashed them last year. we had 6 cims, and 2 rs550's, which can use a lot of current.
