[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 240924, member: 1414"] Have used similar method many times and as recent as 2015 when a battery supplier used his load tester and told me there was nothing wrong with their battery. Set up your method and drove to the shop and showed them how the battery dropped off rapidly under a continuous low load (Headlight globe) They gave me a new battery under warranty, which also failed first trip away. Didn't bother returning to this store, bought a recognised brand. As per the old quote; "Buy cheap, buy twice. In the days of the common vented batteries it was so simple testing with a hydrometer. Battery could show near full charge with voltmeter but a cell or two could be well down using hydrometer. Which sounds like your case Bill. [/QUOTE]
