It measures the AC internal impedance of the battery and computes the capacity from that.
From the description, I don't see any mention of capacity measure. I'm not sure how one would extrapolate capacity from an internal impedance measurement. I could be wrong, but I only know to measure the drain on a battery to determine the remaining capacity.

I do have a smart charger I'm using that provides most of these functions, and I've got a resistive CCA meter.

Don't we all...

I've got my eye on a handful of properties along the N. Santiam river. Some of them have steep hillsides with a continuous stream of water pouring into the river. Wouldn't mind having a vacation rental or retirement house out that way. Paddled many miles on Packsaddle to Mill City, and drank as many beers.

Starlink really was one of the last "problems" to solve with living out in the hills. If I've got unlimited renewable energy, and a decent internet connection, there's not much else holding me back. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a reverse migration away from cities.
