Sorry.. I thought you meant what kind of battery.. I'm not sure of the
actual voltage.. My multimeter isn't working
I think the problem is your lack of a vent hole, but if you want to
check the voltage on a 12 volt battery, connect a car lightbulb across
the ternmainal and see if it glows at the proper brightness. *Better
yet, connect a car horn and see if has the proper noise. *(Although a
horn in a cement basement might be a bad idea.)
A bulb a horn wont tell you didly on a batterys condition, keep it
undercharged at 12.25v and it wil be sulfated in 1 year and worthless
