This is a bit similar to a test scheme I found in the 1992 Solectria 
Force service manual:

"If the range performance of the car following a full recharge has been 
reported to be declining, perform the following check.  Recharge the 
battery and drive the car at least 25 miles, or until the car will not 
maintain 30 mph on a level road.  With all lights, fan, and heater on, 
any battery that tests less than 10 volts should be replaced."
