Battery Load Voltage vs. DOD
Below are listed the 1 hour, 8 hour, 20 hour and 120 hour load voltages during the discharge
cycle from full charge to 100% discharge to 1.75V/cell or 10.5V (6 cells) at 25°C (77°F).
DOD (%) 1 hr. Rate 8 hr. Rate 20 hr. Rate 120 hr. Rate
10 12.23 12.60 12.65 12.69
20 12.16 12.51 12.55 12.58
30 12.07 12.39 12.42 12.45
40 11.96 12.25 12.28 12.32
50 11.83 12.11 12.15 12.18
60 11.70 11.98 12.02 12.05
70 11.55 11.79 11.83 11.88
80 11.38 11.59 11.61 11.65
90 11.15 11.32 11.34 11.40
100 10.50 10.50 10.50 10.50
Please note that these voltages are averages and will vary slightly from battery to battery even
of the same rating. They are, however, a good indicator of state of charge and can be used
when setting low voltage alarms or disconnects for a Concorde AGM battery. Other battery
types or manufacturers voltage vs. DOD may be substantially different. The data is for newer
batteries with relatively few cycles. An older battery will measure a lower voltage for a given
DOD.

I got this from lifeline batteries website..Should be close for AGMs

Hi Brett, You can measure the realtime capacity of a wet battery by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte. Loaded or resting will not matter. AGM's are a bit tougher. Harbor Freight offers an electronic tester that uses high frequency loading to measure the battery response. I don't know if it will measure realtime capacity under load, but it will show the capacity at rest. Let the EB list know how it works out. Be Well, Arby
