Many organizations have established standards that address lead-acid battery safety, performance, testing, and maintenance. Standards are norms or requirements that establish a basis for the common understanding and judgment of materials, products, and processes.
There are a number of standards and company practices for battery testing. Usually they comprise inspections (observations, actions and measurements done under normal float condition) and capacity tests. Most well-known are the IEEE standards:
Most well-known are the IEEE standards: IEEE 450, “IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing and Replacement of Vented Lead-acid Batteries for Stationary Applications” describes the frequency and type of measurements that need to be taken to validate the condition of the battery.
Between load tests, impedance measurement is an excellent tool for assessing the condition of batteries. Furthermore, it is recommended that an impedance test be performed just prior to any load test to improve the correlation between capacity and impedance. Impedance, an internal ohmic test, is resistance in AC terms.
Annex E describes the visual inspection requirements. Annex F provides methods for measuring connection resistances. Annex G discusses alternative test and inspection programs. Annex H describes the effects of elevated temperature on lead-acid batteries. Annex I provides methodologies for conducting a modified performance test.
If the battery has reached 85% of service life, delivers 100% or greater of the manufacturer's rated capacity and has no signs of degradation it can be tested at two-year Intervals until it shows signs of degradations.

How to test a lead-acid battery
How do you test a lead-acid battery? Well to do it properly, you need to take it to a workshop or a battery retailer who has a specialised battery tester like the Century BT900. But if you just want an indication on whether your battery is healthy, or potentially on the way out – we can do this easily ourselves. All you need is one of these – a voltmeter.
