Did he say take her multimeter and put it on this setting without saying what setting it was or showing what setting it was
Thanks! Very informative. Gives me more knowledge to check my truck camper batteries.
Where should the wires be plugged into on the multimeter. Explain the setting. "this setting" what's that?

@@RVlifestyleandRepair I might have paid and joined if you had just answered the question. You post a video with something pretty basic with statement made in the video that doesn't make sense, refuse to clarify and instead try to squeeze a paid membership out of me.
Nope. 🙂 Have a nice day.

Fully charged battery is 12.9 volts. A battery at 12.4 volts is about 50% charged. That battery was never fully charged, even after the two hour charge, thus the low readings on the specific gravity test.
Actually it's 13.5 volts.
Actually a fully charged 12 volt lead acid battery is 13.5 volts. 12.13 volts is not a "pretty decent" charge, as you say. 12.13 volts is almost dead. Even 12.69 volts isn't very charged. Your gravity test shows what I'm saying is true.
Glad someone was paying attention!
I just looked it up, and a fully charged battery is 12.6 volts. A battery only ever reads 13.5 volts if it's being actively boosted by your car's running alternator. That's for a standard car battery. A deep cycle goes around 12.9v fully charged.
That battery tester looks like a cheese grater. That hydrometer looks like a turkey baster. I can't tell if this is a cooking channel or something about batteries. 😂
I came here to check my batteries now I’m hungry
You said with the voltage meter, "we put it on this setting," but then you didn't show us what the setting was.
