The newer digital hand held testers are pretty good at doing a pass fail. You have to have a fully charged battery and dial to the rated Ah. The push
button gives you an instant green or red. Must draw for like a couple uS and then extrapolate the result as there is no big heet generating resistor
like the old days. Mine is even made in USA, sorry it's not close by for the brand name. So far it has been accurate at testing batts for me. Also,
you say the problem started with the new inverter?? Can you scope the AC to see if the wave goes to crap when under microwave load. The 2 items may
not play well together. For laughs add some resistive load like a 100watt incandescent lamp in parallel to see if that tricks it happy.
