If any of the cells are bad, game over, but rather than randomly guessing and throwing out batteries, this seems more scientific, and they only cost about $15 on Amazon. Probably worth the investment.
A hydrometer is the gold standard for flooded battery condition. Tables for a graduated hydrometer are available on line.
