Homelab Hero · No. 006: your result

A dead battery, measured precisely. 0 Hero Points.

The test gives you an exact number — by spending the battery to get it. A weak battery under a full discharge can drop the load mid-test or come out of it with even less to give tomorrow, and the storms do not care how accurate your runtime estimate was. You traded the protection you had for information about the protection you had.

The lesson: Never spend the runtime you have left to measure the runtime you have left.
