I have an old battery in my shed that passes with flying colors when tested with my "125 amps for 10 seconds" tester. But it fails miserably when subjected to a capacity test. So even if the high-load-short-duration test doesn't harm the battery, it doesn't really tell you what the true health of the battery is.

We have a battery that tested as "good" with the Battery Beak and then minutes later dropped dead halfway though a semifinal match last weekend. Fortunately, it did not affect the outcome of the match.

Battery #6 is going to that farm for old batteries...
