With the battery full charged with a portable 120V charger.
Start and run the tractor for a while until the ammeter rate of charge drops back to "normal".
Use a meter set to DC volts, not ohms, not amps and not AC volts.
If using a digital set the diplay to read the numbers as E.G. 006.2V not 6.200V.
Run engine at full rated speed with the lights on if it's diesel if it doesn't have a significant electrical load. Spark ignition engines will be drawing 3-4 amps through the ignition system.
Set at 6.8V to 7.2V or 13.8V to 14.2V. Lower voltages for tractors used all day in warm weather. Higher for parade or cold weather use tractors.
