I tested the battery in my 2019 Audi Q5 with a HF battery testor. Battery is 4 1/2 years old and 47k miles . I usually replace at 5 years but am confused with state of health at 100%. I put my Ctek charger on it and State of Health went to 100% but dropped to 34% quickly. What do these results mean with regards replace or not.

You probably need to set the amp hours of the battery under test, into this tester. It is showing your batt is only 100 AH. That's like a motorcycle battery.
Interstate's website says an H6 battery has a 70 Ah capacity. 100 Ah would actually be quite a large battery.

Charge the battery fully. Then setup the tester test it. Test it again after 24 hours of sitting. If either tests shows replace then time for a new battery.
Still the best test is the carbon pile tester where you can put a 300 or 400 amp load on the battery and measures the voltage after 15 seconds.
Most battery testers you enter the CCA.
