Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - When I load test battery, it comes out to 11.38 volts, is that good?

Voltage alone will not tell you complete story.

Fully charge it and have it CAPACITY tested.

If you have a serviceable type, you can check fluid level and do a proper Specific gravity test of each cell.

Then charge and capacity test again.

To answer your question: If your battery was above 12.2-12.4 vdc before load test, then 11.38 looks normal.

What did you do a load test with? It should tell you if it has good capacity and voltage is good. The old analog, dial type would have a Green, yellow or Red range markings.
