IMHO, you really need both current AND voltage meters plus knowledge of how to interpret what you see to truly indicate battery condition. AND, there is no such thing as instantaneous results without some serious analysis equipment.

I read that as "A voltmeter that reads 13.9 volts does not tell you the condition of the battery, but an ammeter will."
