Hello all,
I recently acquired two 100AH lithium-ion (LiFePO4 based) 12 v drop-in replacement 12v batteries. All of my testing gear is designed for single cells, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to test these for capacity. Even if they have fairly reduced capacity, I would prefer to keep them intact so I can use them to power my trolling motor and save about 50 pounds.

It would be nice to test them at something in the range of 15 - 30amps (the max my motor draws is 30 amps). This is well within their continuous draw capacity of either battery. I would just use my motor, but it is winter here and the motor needs to run in water, so that won't work for another 2.5 months.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
Eric
