How to test the capacity of a battery with a digital multimeter

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Battery

In this video, we can see how it is possible to test the actual capacity of a 12-volt, 7-amp battery using a digital multimeter. We have our tester and set it to "amperage". The black probe will be placed on "com". If we need to measure a consumption that exceeds 500 mA, we will place the red probe on 10A, and set the indicator to 10A. We then make the connections with the battery and verify the consumption, in this case of a drill. The multimeter screen indicates 7A, so this battery actually corresponds to the capacity that was indicated on the body.
