Thanks for the clarification;  would it be reasonable then, that if a
battery (primary, or otherwise) appeared to be in good shape, had its
plates covered, had clean solid connections and was fully charged to 13+V,
yet dropped to, say, 12V after hooking up to the starter or fridge, is due
for replacement?  The assumption is that the charging system is also
functioning correctly, btw.
