Default Cranking voltage test, avoid a dead battery

Crank 15 seconds with coil disconnected;
read voltage at end of test.
here are my results today, with purchase date of battery
72- 10.2v, 5-02
61- 9.4 volts, 10-00new
67- 10.6v, 5-00
my 61 needs to be repaced soon. 9v is the cutoff
New is 11 volts
and the 72 looks weak considering it's age :rolleyes:
