" ...  I’ve been interested in a conductance style battery tester for quite a while. ... The trick is to look up the peak current delivery rating for the UPS battery. ... Then hook up the meter directly to the battery terminals and this powers up the meter. ... A few seconds after the start, it comes back with state of charge percentage, and voltage, battery health percentage, and peak amps. ... This meter was able to confirm that 2 UPS and one jump starter batteries I purchased 2 years ago and have charged a few times a year are still very healthy, while confirming both batteries in one UPS claiming bad batteries were both very deficient in current delivery, about 20 times the expected internal resistance, and based on voltage just coming out the UPS, one of them had 2 shorted cells. ... The other UPS, one battery tested clearly defective, but the other one still showed good amperage, and only slightly high internal resistance, so it may well find a use in a different project. ... Though opening the case and disconnecting the battery should provide a good reading.  ...  "
