12v lithium batteries have a higher nominal voltage than a 12v lead acid battery so a maintainer needs to have a lithium setting if you want to charge it to 100%. But an internet source said best wait 24 hours after charging to check capacity. but it looks to me like there may be a BMS on top of the ERay battery.
Fortunately, you can easily do a basic health checkup on any type of lead acid battery by hooking it up to a simple-to-use digital voltmeter. If you have an open-cell battery that lets you access the liquid inside, you can do a more rigorous checkup with a battery hydrometer. Charge the battery fully, then let it rest for 4 hours.
This Lead Acid battery tester works on all automotive 12V lead-acid batteries. Suitable for testing various battery types including ordinary lead-acid battery, AGM flat plate battery, AGM spiral battery, and GEL battery, etc. It quickly, easily, and accurately measures the Alternator's charging and Starter's cranking conditions.
Charge the battery fully at least 8 hours before testing it. Lead acid batteries recharge in various manners based on their function and manner of installation. For a lead acid vehicle battery, drive the vehicle around for at least 20 minutes. For a lead acid battery connected to solar panels, let the battery charge fully on a sunny day.
The liquid-filled lead acid batteries used in automobiles and a range of other products have many great qualities, but are also known to “go bad” with little warning. Fortunately, you can easily do a basic health checkup on any type of lead acid battery by hooking it up to a simple-to-use digital voltmeter.
Checking an open-cell lead acid battery—that is, a lead acid battery with caps that can be opened to access the liquid inside—with a battery hydrometer is most accurate when the battery is fully charged. Closed-cell lead acid batteries without the access caps cannot be tested this way.
In order to reduce risk of explosion, proper ventilation must be done as well as any sources of ignition (e.g., sparks from circuit) must be eliminated. Furthermore, avoid exposing a lead acid battery to direct sunlight as the plastic housing can become brittle.
