The best way to do this is with a CBA tester. If your team is low-budget there are simple and inexpensive but manual home-brew ways to do the test.

If the CBA is out of your price range, take your batteries to AutoZone (or similar auto parts store). They will usually test them for free and let you know if the battery is usable anymore, especially if you tell them what you are doing.
