It is easy enough to load test the battery yourself.

Charge battery. Disconnect charger.

Measure battery voltage.

Disconnect and ground the ignition cable.

Crank the motor for 10 seconds.

Measure voltage of battery.

Has the voltage dropped below 12 volts?

Watching the voltage drop during cranking can also give you an idea of the battery's health.
