Yes, absolutely, that was my measure. One of my cars
has an electrical fault which runs down the battery in a
few days, so it's a good test! :-) Haven't had time to
track down the fault yet.

Another I let run on empty for a while as I was abroad
for a few months a couple of years ago. I thought I was
going to be back so I didn't disconnect the battery. They
stopped the flights home! So. I came back four months
later to a completely dead battery. Normal charging did
nothing, it wouldn't keep a charge. I bought a new battery
and put the old one on trickle charge for a few weeks (!)
after which it was as good as the new one.

The batteries may have come up in voltage, but were they able to take
a load and bounce back in a reasonable amount of time?
