HOW DO I TEST A BATTERY?

DEEP CYCLE BATTERY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
There are six simple steps in testing a deep cycle battery: inspect, recharge, remove surface charge, measure the state-of-charge, load test, and recharge. If you have a non-sealed battery, it is highly recommended that you use a good quality temperature compensated hydrometer; these can be purchased at an auto parts store for between $5 and $20. A hydrometer is a float type device used to determine the state-of-charge by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte in each cell.

Why fuse at the battery?

Amplifiers - FAQ
Installing a fuse of the proper amperage on your power cable protects everything between the fuse and your gear from a short circuit. A short circuit occurs when a current-bearing wire makes contact with bare metal (like your car chassis). Because your entire car chassis can be considered "negative" or ground, you can think of a short circuit as positive touching negative. You definitely don't want this to happen, but if it does, a properly installed fuse will prevent a fire or other damage.
