Maybe I mentioned it already but the bad battery held voltage if not subject to any power drain.

The Ctek battery tester I have is this one:

This is a different model to the one I was referring.does it give you actual CCA readings.

So far all the batteries (very few actually) I have had to replace (cars & bikes) read good voltages. Only a CCA test provided an insight to their reduced capacity.
I took mine to a battery shop with modern analyser (not the old fashion which fries the battery in the process!) they provided me with the CCA and a printout. Unfortunately for me the analyzers are too expensive
