Thanks for letting us know about your battery tester.

I received an email from one of your team members, Dave Garnett, and he referred me to

http://www.batterytester.co.uk/actmeters.htm - see Product-Index/GOLD-IBT Intelligent Battery Tester.

This tester looks very promising. For sure, it has been tough for us to reliably predict the amp-hour capacity of a battery without running the battery down. We actually bought two other types of tester this year which are helpful, but they do not tell us the amp-hours that are in the battery. Our robot is an electricity guzzler this year, and the IBT Intelligent Battery Tester seems to be exactly what we want to make sure that our battery won't poop out near the end of a match. If anyone else has used the above tester, I would be interested in hearing about your experiences with it.
