You could wire a 100 watt light bulb to the battery terminals, measure the current draw it uses and then multiply that by the number of hours until the light goes out. That would enable you to do a rough calculation of how many watt hours of capacity the battery has. The current draw will decrease as the bulb dims - You might want to check it several times
It sounds like your Seg is telling you that battery doesn't have much left in it's tank
