Just realized my old boss was right about using a meter on every new install
He always said, 'Don't trust the panel's own voltage reading, use your Fluke.' I thought it was extra work until a job in a Denver condo building last month. The panel showed 13.8 volts, but my meter read 11.2 on the actual battery terminals. Saved me from a callback for a dead backup battery in a week. Anyone else have a simple check that seemed pointless but saved your butt?

Don't trust the panel" is just fear mongering.

It's not fear mongering, it's basic safety.
