My house batteries are junk and were junk when I picked up the coach 2 years ago. They test fine according to the dealer. I assume that's a quick voltage under load test?

But if I hook up a 12V load like a few lightbulbs the battery voltage goes under 12V after taking out less that 10 Amp hours of capacity as measured by my Astroflight Wattmeter that integrates amps over time.

Personally I don't think the dealer has equipment to test battery capacity as we care about it.
