I suspect if you charge it they will say 'battery is 100% charged, it's fine.
I think the issue is that the new pocket testers do not load the battery. You need the old fashioned style tester that had resistors, and you could dump a crap load of energy while monitoring the voltage and current.
Project Farm did a review of testers, they did seem to work, but I prefer to see the battery do some work under load.

My trolling motor is pulling about 30amps, so fairly sure my amazon ampmeter is reading it with enough load.
