I have a TopDon BT200 battery tester. To get the most accurate testing of my battery, TopDon support says, "You are not recommended to test the battery immediately after it is fully charged. There may be floating electricity causing inaccurate test results. Please let the battery sit for a while and then test again."
I'm not sure what they mean by "a while", so here's what I do.
With the motor off, I first disconnect my trickle charger and then turn on the headlights for about 5 minutes. Then I test my battery condition with the TopDon.
Does this sound like a reasonable way to determine my battery condition? Should I wait for more than 5 minutes before testing, or...???
Thank you,
Ed
