... to get an idea of you battery's condition. However, I just had a
battery that would pass fine on both but still drain more quickly just
sitting than it should (I had a 60mA current draw). At 10 years old, and
a longer, important trip coming up I would get a new one on principle;
you got your money's worth on this one. It's hard to beat an AGM, but
they're expensive.
