Point taken and I can see it well on a GOLF CART (multiple batteries etc). No one dislikes unhooking all the batteries on a golf cart and checking them more than I do. Problem is a voltmeter and a load tester has always worked for me even on a golf cart. The battery terminal ends need to be serviced anyways I don't need to waste time verifying what I already know and that's all a hydrometer test does.
The problem with testing is if the bat cranks the engine folks will play it out till it want that's the test for most folks. Then there are times when you have a issue it passes a load test and a quick charging system test in the end you throw a battery at it only to find there is an issue somewhere else. That issue most always never gets addressed till all else fails.

It’s the first test performed all of the time… If the voltage test low the battery has been charged and the top charges burnt off you recheck it and the voltage is low it fails a load test WHY would you waste your time with a hydrometer. What is it going to tell you that you already don’t know?
If you need conformation then by all means have at it…
