measure the voltage between the battery poles (off-load voltage).
Accurate results can only be obtained if the battery has neither been charged
nor discharged during a period of 30 minutes preceding the measuring.
If the battery is empty, it can be recharged for a maximum period of
10 hours at 0.5 A and a maximum of 14.4 V.
