That's a good point. That's why the periodic capacity test is needed otherwise it's just a guess.

Can we make a guess? 2% per year for light use? 5% for heavier use?

I doubt Ross has a...

Given that we all seem to rely on the 20 hour AH rating which is a discharge down to 10.5V or maybe even 10.02V and few of us want to go below 12V would that affect how we use a battery monitor and...

It's not clear to me that irrecoverable hardened sulfation can form at say 12.9 & above. I can find some support for and against that happening.

Crown & Optima seem to set a low bar: 12.4V!
