Mornin Ron, good question, in my "arsenal" used to test flooded lead acid batteries I have three instruments and may use one or more or all as conditions and results indicate.
Volt Meter,,,,,,,,Load Tester,,,,,,,,,,Hydrometer
The voltage can indicate to at least some degree of accuracy the State of Charge (SOC)... HOWEVER it must be when the battery is at rest and stabilized …… Its a useful (even though not all knowing) tool if you have nothing else...
The Load Tester can indicate a batteries ability (or inability) to store energy...
The Hydrometer can indicate the SOC and condition of each individual cell (See Jim's great explanation below)
All three can provide information as to the batteries SOC but each work differently and provide different information so I like having all three in my arsenal so I have choices and options even though I may or may not use all three of them ……….
That's what I like having and "That's my story n Ima stickin to it" lol
