Do any of you with EV have battery load tester to check condition of batteries?

I'm wondering if it would be worth the money to know? I can tell the SLA batteries are fading on the e-bike. The range is still good it's just taking longer and longer to charge. I guess when it get to the point the range is affect I'll replace.

Do you think there would be any advantage to knowing that your batteries are x amount depleted?

Thoughts?
