In his chapter on batteries he has a diagram of a unit to test the battery to decide when to replace it. Read his chapter and you will be very happy with the battery you have. The RG batteries have a lower internal resistance, therefore a higher voltage for starting an engine. In addition they are cheaper than aircraft batteries. I use two 17 amp 12 volt batteries in my IV, 24 volt, system. They are working very well.
