Use a tset light, its what ive always used. To discharge, connect test light to ground, and tip to cap neg, wait till light dims out, it is discharged. To charge, connect test light to 12 volt constant, and tip to cap pos, when light goes out, it is charged. Hook it up how you would a battery, pos then ground and your done.
