Capacity *can* be tested, but you have to have a charger/discharger that will tell you the Amp Hours. The seller may not have a charger/discharger that is big enough to handle batteries like this.

Also, a 56 Ah battery tested from 4.2v to 2.5v has less capacity than a 56 Ah battery tested from 4.15v to 3.0v. I've seen it listed both ways on ebay. I've even seen some sellers guarantee at least 80% of original capacity... Meaning they don't have the charger and/or time to test and if you don't have the ability to test it you'll never know and the seller won't have to worry about giving refunds...
